Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a person misses the congregational prayer in the mosque next to his home, is it obligatory for him to go to another mosque where the congregation is still taking place?
Answer:
Yes, as long as the mosque is close to him, he goes to it and catches the congregation. He does not pray alone while he can catch a nearby congregation, even if it is not in the adjacent mosque. Yes.
