Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is praying in the old mosque preferable to praying in the new mosque, even if the new one has fewer people?

Answer:
Praying in the old mosque is better because worship was established there first. This is one of the matters in which old mosques are preferred over new ones. Yes.
