Prayer in the rest area.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A group of people pray in congregation in the rest area and do not pray in the mosque, which is about three hundred meters away from them. What is the ruling on this?
Answer:
Answer: This is not permissible for them. If they can hear the call to prayer, they must respond and attend. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whoever hears the call to prayer and does not come to it, there is no prayer for him except for an excuse.” It was asked, “What is the excuse?” He said, “Fear or illness.” So whoever hears the call to prayer must go to it, unless he is far away. For example, the call to prayer via microphone may reach tens of kilometers; but the intended meaning is the unamplified voice. Whoever hears the unamplified voice must attend.
