The ruling on going to another mosque for the sake of the imam's speed or the beauty of his voice

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible to go to another mosque to pray the tarawih prayer on the grounds that the imam finishes quickly, or that his voice is pleasant?

Answer:
This haste ends quickly; this indicates his laziness. He wants speed, like those who line up with the fast drivers who speed up so they can arrive. This person is lazy. The obligatory thing is the opposite: he should go to the imam who is proficient in prayer, who is proficient in prayer, and pray behind him, and not pray with the fast imam, in order to complete his prayer. Yes.
