Prayer in the mosque while traveling

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I say, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if we are in the desert and on the road, is it obligatory for us to wait when we approach?

The Shaykh:
If we are.

The questioner:
If we are traveling and on the road, is it obligatory for us to stop at a station that has a mosque, or do we pray on the side of the road?

The Shaykh:
Praying in a mosque prepared for that purpose is better than praying outside the mosque, as long as there is a mosque around you, praying in it is better, yes.
