The ruling on praying at home if the mosque is far away

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We then move on, Your Eminence, to a letter sent by the questioner: (M. M. S) from Dammam. He says: I wake up to perform the Fajr prayer, and praise be to Allah. He says: But there is no mosque nearby, the mosques are far away, but I hear the adhan in the mosques, and I pray at home during the time of the Fajr prayer. Is my prayer valid?

Answer:
If the mosques are far away, and you only hear the adhan because of the loudspeakers, then there is no blame on you. And if you endure the hardship of going by car, or on foot, to the mosque, that is better for you.
As for if you hear the adhan without a loudspeaker because the mosque is near, you are required to go and pray with the people. But if it is far and you do not hear it except because of the loudspeaker, then there is no blame on you if you pray at home. And if you go and endure the hardship, that is better for you and more excellent.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
