Q: I live 10 minutes from a mosque and because of this distance I spend almost 2 hours every day walking to and from the mosque to the five daily prayers. I am I student and need as much time as possible for my studies. Would it be permissable for me, in order to save time, to attend only Fajr and Isha in the mosque (because of the big virtue of praying these prayers in the mosque) and pray the rest of the prayers alone at home?
A: If you are able to hear the azaan without a receiver then you should go to the Musjid.
وعن عبد الله بن أم مكتوم قال يا رسول الله إن المدينة كثيرة الهوام والسباع وأنا ضرير البصر فهل تجد لي من رخصة ؟ قال هل تسمع حي على الصلاة حي على الفلاح قال نعم قال فحيهلا ولم يرخص له رواه أبو داود والنسائي (مشكاة رقم 1078)
