Question
Hello Rabbi, if a person has finished praying with a minyan and hears Kedusha from a nearby minyan, is he required to stand and respond to the Kedusha?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
Since he is not in the same room, he is not obligated to respond, but he may respond with them.
Source
In the Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim, Siman 55, Seif 20), it is written that one who is not with the congregation 'may' respond with them.
Contemporary poskim have debated whether this is an obligation or merely an option.
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita, if he is in the same room with the congregation praying, he is obligated to respond with them. If he is not in the same room, there is no obligation.
