Going to a distant mosque in search of the congregation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This man says: Muhammad Asiri from Abha. We have a small mosque in the neighborhood with a small congregation, and at times I pray alone. Is it permissible for me to go to another mosque that is farther away in search of the congregation?
Answer:
If no one comes with you to pray in congregation at the nearby mosque, then it is obligatory for you to go to the farther mosque to pray with the congregation, as long as you can reach the farther mosque without hardship. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
