Question:
Honorable Shaykh, some mosques, as you mentioned, have few people praying the Tarawih prayer, while other mosques are filled, with cars and crowds around the mosque, blocking the streets, which become narrow with worshippers coming from the east and west to pray there.
Answer:
This is contrary to what is best and contrary to what is preferable. It is preferable to fill all the mosques, and for a person to pray in the mosque near his home; that is better. He should not go here and there, following the sounds, following them, not going here and there. Yes.
