Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible to go on Friday to a distant mosque on foot, even if there is a mosque closer to him, because the distant mosque is better and more conducive to reverence for him?
Answer:
That is fine, as long as it does not contradict the rules. If you go to the distant mosque for a religious benefit, that is good and you will be rewarded for it.
