Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner asks: Is it better for me to pray the Friday prayer in the mosque near my home, which I can walk to, or in a distant mosque where I have to take a car, because the funeral prayer is performed there?
Answer:
You have the choice to pray in the mosque near you or in the other mosque that has a preference, which is the funeral prayer, or whose imam is more influential in his sermon and benefits the attendees more than others. So, if your going to the distant mosque is for a legal preference, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
