Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. One of the brothers asks: Is it obligatory to pray in congregation in the mosque for one who lives in the West? Knowing that the mosque is about four miles away by car?
Answer:
It is not obligatory for you to pray in congregation if you have reached this distance. If the mosque is this far from you, then it is not obligatory for you. If you go, you will have a reward, and if you do not go, you are excused. Yes.
