The Proximity of Mosques and Its Effect on Congregational Prayer

Question:
The proximity of mosques, the permissibility of some of them being close to one another, regarding congregational prayer,

Answer:
No, it is not appropriate. It should be that there is a distance between one mosque and another such that the people of the neighborhood can walk to one of them, and through their proximity and gathering, much good is achieved. This allows the preachers and remind-ers to cover many mosques. When mosques are numerous, it becomes difficult to deliver sermons to all of them. When they are fewer, it is closer to the reality that the sermons and reminders reach them, and they achieve much meeting, cooperation, and getting to know one another. In the present time, people have become lazy and heavy about praying in congregation. Therefore, people have become active in serving the mosques in the neighborhoods, claiming that this encourages people to attend the congregation and is closer to them advancing to pray without being lazy. In any case, there should be an appropriate distance between them. Yes.
