Going to a distant mosque for the tarawih prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for me to go to another mosque? I go to a mosque in the village, which is twenty-three kilometers from our village, in order to pray the tarawih prayer behind an imam whose voice is beautiful.

Answer:
If you benefit from praying behind this imam and you experience more khushu' (humility) in your prayer, then there is nothing wrong with it, unless the mosque you are in becomes empty, in which case you should not leave it and should pray in it. Yes.
