Praying in the house following the Imam from the Mosque on the loudspeaker.

Q; I sometimes perform Subhi prayer(early mornin prayers) at home following d (Imam(d prayers of the mosque that is like 10mins walk from my house through the Loud Speaker/microphone.

A; All-Praise is due to Allah,

Dear respected brother, there is no exception to what you are doing, this is because in order for you to be rewarded with the congregation you must be within the boundaries of the Mosque (in the area which is considered the Jamah).

It was narrated by Ali Ibn Abi Taalib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: There is no Prayer for the neighbor of the Mosque but except on the Mosque. Thus Ali was asked : O'Commander of the Believers whom is the neighbor of the Mosque. He replied: The one who hears the Adhaan.

Al-Muhala: 4/195, and Ahmad Shakir grades it chain narration as Hasan.

Also the Prophet (peace be upon him) house was connected to the Mosque but yet he Prayed in the Mosque in congregation.

In conclusion one that is the neighbor of the Mosque and hears it's Adhaan must Pray in congregation and not follow it in their house even if they can hear it on the loudspeaker.

And Allah knows best...
