Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Some people say that it is not permissible for a man to perform the Friday prayer in a mosque other than the one in his town. Is this correct?
Answer:
This is not correct. A Muslim must pray the Friday prayer, or any other prayer, with the Muslims, unless he finds [a congregation]. However, if going from his town's mosque results in him joining the congregation in the mosque he left, then it is better and more preferable for him to pray in his town's mosque.
