The Preference of Some Mosques Over Others and Their Addition to the Three Mosques
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The jurists (may Allah have mercy on them) prefer some mosques over others, such as praying in the old mosque, the mosque with the largest congregation, and the one whose congregation does not form without his presence. His question is: Is this added to the three mosques in terms of preference?
Answer:
No, nothing shares in the status of the three mosques. The prayer in them is not multiplied to a hundred thousand, a thousand, or five hundred prayers. It is not multiplied to that extent. This is specific to the three mosques.
