The ruling on praying in the mosques of Makkah for those who are unable to pray in al-Masjid al-Haram due to hardship and severe congestion

Question : But if someone were to say: What do you say if my presence at the mosque of the Ka'bah involves hardship, severe congestion, and harm to people, and they are crowded in on me, and perhaps I would not be able to bow with complete tranquility or prostrate with complete tranquility? Which is better: that I commit these things, or that I pray in any of the mosques of Makkah with tranquility and calm?

Answer : If we say the second, because this virtue, namely tranquility and calm, relates to the essence of the worship, and the virtue that relates to the essence of the worship is more deserving of consideration than the virtue that relates to its time or place, as is established and known among the scholars, and as the Sunnah indicates, that considering the essence of the worship is more important than considering the time and place.
