Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen was asked:

Question:

“Oh Virtuous Shaikh, we listen to your speech while we are in Buraidah. So do we obtain reward and enter under the Hadith of the Messenger (ﷺ):

ما اجتمع قوم في بيت من بيوت الله

‘No people get together in a house of the houses of Allah (i.e. a mosque)…’ [Reported in Muslim]

?”

Answer:

” We hope this because your gathering to listen to the microphone is like the gathering of the people over the loudspeaker. You are now listening to the phone like how the people hear the microphone. Inshallah, we hope for you reward”. End translation. [Reference]
