The ruling on choosing the nearest mosque for prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner sent a set of questions, in which he asks: If the congregation is larger in the mosque in the neighborhood than in the mosque closer to me, where should I go? And what about repeating the adhan with it, which one is closer?
Answer:
Go to the one nearest to you; follow the mu'adhdhin who is near you. As for the prayer, pray in the mosque that is near you and your home, the mosque of the neighborhood, and do not leave it except for a reason. Otherwise, it is better that you pray in the mosque near your home so that you enliven your mosque by praying in it. Yes.
