An eclipse occurred, but the imam of the mosque near me did not pray. Should I look for another mosque, or should I pray alone?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A lunar eclipse occurred, and the imam of the mosque near my home did not pray. He asks: Should I go out and look for another mosque where it is prayed in congregation, or should I pray it alone? What is better?

Answer:
It is better to pray with the congregation, even if it is not the mosque near you. If it is not being prayed in that mosque, go to the mosque where it is being prayed with the Muslims. Yes.
