The ruling on congregational prayer for those whose mosque is far from them

Question:
The questioner from Jordan has a second question. He says: Do I commit a sin if I do not perform the obligatory prayer in the mosque, knowing that I do not hear the call to prayer except through loudspeakers? That is, the distance between me and the mosque is approximately one kilometer, and I find it difficult to maintain attendance at the five daily prayers in the mosque. This questioner is from Jordan. Please, go ahead?

Answer:
It is obligatory for one who hears the call to respond to the mu'adhdhin and to pray with the congregation. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): It was asked of Ibn Abbas: What is the excuse? He said: Fear, or illness.
A blind man came to him and said: O Messenger of Allah! I have no guide to lead me to the mosque. Do I have a dispensation to pray in my house? He said to him: He said: Yes. He said: This man was blind and had no guide, and yet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to respond if he could hear the call to prayer with a loud voice, without loudspeakers.
As for one who does not hear the call to prayer except through a loudspeaker, he is excused if he prays in his house, or prays with his neighbors in one of their houses, until a mosque is established among them where the voice of the mu'adhdhin can be heard without a loudspeaker. However, if he can only hear it through a loudspeaker, he is far away. If it is difficult for him to go, but he endures the hardship, is patient, and goes by car or on foot, that is a great good and a great virtue. But it is not obligatory for him if there is difficulty. If he is far away and cannot hear the voice of the mu'adhdhin except through a loudspeaker, it is not obligatory for him. But if he endures the hardship, is patient, and loves to participate in the good, that is a great good.
In the authentic collections: A man was far from the mosque; he was the farthest person from the mosque. He used to come to the mosque barefoot, to the mosque of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Madinah during the lifetime of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Some people said to him: Why don't you buy a donkey to ride on in the scorching heat or in the dark night? The man said: I love that Allah record for me the tracks of my footsteps going and returning. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed of this, and he said: He gathered the tracks of his footsteps going and returning. He was far away, but he was patient with the fatigue, eager for the reward.
But as for one who cannot bear it and finds it difficult, there is no harm in him praying in his house, or with a group of his if he has a group with whom he prays in one of their houses.
And if they are able to establish a mosque, it is obligatory for them to establish a mosque, to establish a mosque, and to pray in it among themselves in their neighborhood. Because building mosques is an obligatory matter for Muslims with the ability to do so. Yes.

The presenter: This questioner says—O honorable Shaykh—from Jordan, he has another section following the first section. He says: We sometimes pray the obligatory prayer at home, my brothers, my father, and I, but we each pray alone, and we do not pray with one of us as an imam in the form of a congregation. Do we commit a sin in that if we leave the congregation in the same house?

The Shaykh: Yes. It is not permissible for you to do that. It is obligatory for you to pray in congregation; the congregational prayer is obligatory, and performing it in the mosque is obligatory. All of this is required. Therefore, it is obligatory for you to pray in congregation. If it is not possible to pray in the mosque, it is obligatory for you to pray in congregation, with your most knowledgeable and best reciter leading you. If you are able to go to the mosque, it is obligatory for you to go to the mosque if you hear the call to prayer. It is obligatory to go to the mosque and pray with the Muslims, based on the aforementioned hadith, in which he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I have seen us, and none would lag behind it—meaning the congregational prayer—except a known hypocrite."
So it is obligatory for the believer to pray with the congregation, and to strive, and not to pray in the house except if it is far and he does not hear the call to prayer; then there is no harm. But he should strive to establish a mosque with his neighbors around them so that they can pray in it. It is obligatory for them, if they are able, to establish a mosque around them and pray in it. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
