He does not pray Fajr in the mosque because he is afraid of the stray dogs
Question

                I need some help from you. I live in Malaysia and I came from the Middle East to Malaysia for the purpose of study. Praise be to Allah, I offer all the prayers in the mosque except for Fajr prayer, which I pray at home on time. The mosque is approximately 10 minutes away from my house, although I cannot hear the adhaan, but despite that I go to the mosque to offer all the prayers apart from Fajr prayer which I offer at home, because in the place where I live, there are no Muslim neighbours around my house; my neighbours are Chinese and there are a lot of stray dogs that bark and growl in my area. At the time of Fajr prayer, all the streets are empty and because of these stray dogs I am afraid to go to the mosque at the time of Fajr, because the streets are also empty at this time. I hope you can answer me: is it permissible for me to pray Fajr in my house? Please note also that I do not hear the adhaan, because my house is approximately 10 minutes away from the mosque, so the adhaan does not reach my house. (I cannot hear it from my room unless I stand outside my house.)
Praise be to Allah.
    
    Firstly: 

    
    Praying in congregation in the mosque is obligatory for every adult male who 
    is able to hear the call to prayer, according to the correct scholarly 
    opinion, because Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the 
    meaning): “And establish prayer and give zakah and bow with those who bow 
    [in worship and obedience]” [al-Baqarah 
    
    2:43]. 
    And there is other evidence which you may find in the answer to question no.

    What is meant by hearing the call to prayer is hearing it at a normal volume 
    without any amplification when all other sounds are quiet and there is 
    nothing to prevent you from hearing it. It should be noted that the 
    mu’adhdhins at the time of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon 
    him) used to give the call to prayer from a high place, such as the roof of 
    the mosque and the like, and the structure of the houses was such that the 
    sound could be heard and carried, which made it possible for the voice of 
    the mu’adhdhin to reach a considerable distance. 

    
    Based on that, at a distance of ten minutes walking it is ordinarily 
    possible for the sound to reach you; in fact it could reach a distance 
    further than that. 

    
    The Sunnah indicates that there is nothing wrong with praying in one’s house 
    and not going to pray in congregation in the mosque if there is an excuse 
    for doing so. It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with 
    him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: 
    “Whoever hears the call and does not come, his prayer is not valid, except 
    for those who have an excuse.” Narrated by Ibn Maajah (793); classed as 
    saheeh by al-Albaani in al-Irwa’, 2/337 

    
    Based on that, if a person fears for his life or fears extensive harm, or 
    fears that he may be taken and put in prison wrongfully, this is regarded as 
    an excuse for his not praying in congregation, and for offering the prayer 
    in his house, so as to protect himself. 

    
    Ibn Qudaamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said in al-Mughni (1/366): 
    The one who is afraid is excused for not offering prayers in congregation or 
    praying Jumu‘ah, because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon 
    him) said: “A (valid) excuse is fear or sickness.” End quote. 

    
    But if the place is safe and the dogs in the street only bark and do not 
    harm anyone, then in that case you must go to the mosque. 

    
    If you can manage to get a car in which you can go to the mosque, that is 
    good and more appropriate. It was narrated that Ubayy ibn Ka‘b said: There 
    was a man, and I do not know of any man who lived further away from the 
    mosque than he did, but he never missed a prayer. It was said – or I said – 
    to him: Why don’t you buy a donkey that you can ride when it is dark or when 
    the sand is too hot? He said: I would not like my house to be next to the 
    mosque. I want my walking to the mosque and my returning when I come back to 
    my family, to be recorded for me. The Messenger of Allah (sa) said: “Allah 
    has gathered all that (reward) for you.” Narrated by Muslim (663) 

    
    If you answer the call of the mu’adhdhin, even though you are far away and 
    you put up with the hardship of walking or come by car , that is good for 
    you and is preferable, and Allah will record your footsteps and efforts to 
    go to the mosque and return from it, if your intention is sincere. 

    
    And Allah knows best.
