The ruling on one who vows to pray in a mosque other than the three mosques
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The effect of praying in a mosque other than the three mosques.
The Shaykh:
Yes, what is required of him?
The questioner:
What does he do?
The Shaykh:
He prays in any mosque or in his home and descends.
The questioner:
It is possible to provide, meaning you expiate the oath.
The Shaykh:
He is only required to pay the expiation for all of them, and this is what is required of him; because he changed [the condition] in any place where he prayed. The intended act is the prayer, and it has been accomplished.
The questioner:
It is not invalid, it does not fall.
The Shaykh:
Because the intended purpose is important and prescribed; the intended purpose is traveling to the three mosques, or the non-three mosques, or a mosque in the town, this is what has the virtue that necessitates this thing.
The questioner:
This is better.
The Shaykh:
It is close.
The questioner:
And the better option is between the expiation of the oath or praying in one of the three mosques.
The Shaykh:
Meaning other than the three, from the dust, other than the three.
The questioner:
Other than the three.
The Shaykh:
Nothing is required of them; the apparent Sunnah is that nothing is required of them; he prayed in any mosque and praise be to Allah; the intended purpose is the worship to the lands and the Sunnah.
