Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: At my workplace, there is a main prayer hall where most of the employees from that department pray. There are also prayer rooms located on every floor of this building. So, is it better for me to pray in this main prayer hall or in the smaller prayer room?

Answer:
Pray with the larger congregation. Pray with the majority. So, if the main prayer hall has the larger congregation, it is better. Yes.
