Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner also says: My workplace is a distance of one hundred and forty kilometers from my home. There is a mosque where I pray the Friday prayer, but the preacher curses the people of the Sunnah and the community. Is it permissible for me to leave the Friday prayer in this mosque? Knowing that there are other mosques, but they are far from my workplace?
Answer:
Do not pray with him while he is cursing the people of the Sunnah and the community. This is a great evil. Do not pray with him. Pray the midday prayer. Pray it as the midday prayer. Do not pray it as the Friday prayer unless there is a mosque around you where you can pray it, and there is no objection in it. Pray in it. Yes.
