Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on going, as the questioner says, to a village twenty-three kilometers from our village, in order to pray the tarawih in the coming Ramadan, if Allah wills?
Answer:
My brother, pray in the mosque near your home, and praise be to Allah. Do not go to an imam who is far from you. This is an unnecessary burden for which Allah has not sent down any authority. Yes.
