What is the ruling on praying at home for one whose mosque is far from him?

Question:
He says: My home is far from the mosque, but I can hear the adhan from the loudspeaker. Nevertheless, we pray at home. Are we sinners in that case, and is our prayer valid? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
If the mosque is far from you such that you do not hear the adhan with the usual voice when the sounds are quiet, then the congregation in the mosque is not obligatory for you. However, if you go to it, even by riding, or if you bear some hardship, that is better; because of the great virtue in it, the multiplication of reward, gathering with the worshippers, getting to know one another, and cooperating in good.
As for the sound of the loudspeaker, it is not sufficient, so attendance is not obligatory because of it; because it is heard from far away.
But whoever responds to the sound of the loudspeaker, goes to the congregation, and is patient with the hardship, he has a great reward. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
