Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. Going to the village that is twenty-three kilometers from our village, and doing so in order to pray the tarawih behind an imam whose voice is beautiful, and leaving the mosque that is close to my house and my village.
Answer:
That is what he intended by the prayer; his intention was to follow the beautiful voice. This is not prescribed. Pray with the Muslims, and praise be to Allah. And all the imams of the mosques have good in them, praise be to Allah. Yes.
