The presenter:
Please, Hamdan, from al-Dawadimi. Peace be upon you. Please, shorten the television [segment], Hamdan.
The questioner:
Yes.
The presenter:
Please, please, state your question.
The questioner:
By Allah, Shaykh, I have a mosque nearby, but no one prays in it. Sometimes I pray in it alone, or I pray with the congregation.
The presenter:
Okay, thank you, that is enough. We will suffice with his question. The Honorable Shaykh says: He has a mosque nearby, and the congregation in this mosque is small. Does he go to another, better mosque?
The Shaykh:
He should pray with his congregation in the nearby mosque, because going to another would cause the imam there to be surprised, and the congregation of the mosque would also wonder why he is going. Praying in the mosque near his home is better for him than going to the distant mosque. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
