![Photo: RAMADAN GUIDE: IF THIS BLIND MAN CAN GO TO THE MASJID, SO CAN WE, IN SHA' ALLAH
Hadith #2: Abdullah Ibn Maktoom narrated that he said: "Oh Messenger of Allah, I am blind, live far away, and have a guide that does not suit me, so can't you give me consent to pray at home?" He (Salla Allahu 'aleihi wa sallam) said, "Do you hear the call (adhan)?" Ibn Maktoom replied "Yes".
The Prophet then said: "I cannot find an excuse for you". [Sahih Muslim #653, Musnad Ahmad and others]
If the blind man has no excuse not to pray in congregation, how can there be an excuse for the one that can see?
Based on this hadith and others (narrated above and below), scholars have said that if a person lives/works/ happens to be at the time of salah, so close to the masjid that he would be able to hear the adhan, then he simply MUST go to the masjid.
“Hearing” of the adhan, however, refers to the adhan pronounced by a muadhdhin WITHOUT any loudspeakers, but it should also be noted that the muadhdhins at the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to give the call to prayer from high places, such as the roof of the mosque and the like.
Hadith #3: Narrated by Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them (him, and his father), that the Prophet said, "Whosover hears the call to salat, and does not respond, then there is no salat for him unless he has a valid excuse."](https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/t1.0-9/p526x296/10487596_1448825522034434_3955653516143802723_n.jpg)
