Comparing the Friday prayer in the nearby mosque versus the distant one
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Which is better for a Muslim, to pray the Friday prayer in the mosque next to him, walking on foot so that he earns the reward of a fasting and standing day for every step, or to go by car to a distant mosque where there are funerals?
Answer:
He should not pray in the nearby mosque, because if he leaves the nearby mosque, people will complain about the imam and say, "He did not go to the mosque except because he has a complaint about the imam," or something like that. He should pray in the nearby mosque.
