Tarawih Prayer in the Mosques of Distant Villages

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Please, Abu Fahd, join us from Riyadh. Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace. Peace be upon you. I am from the southern region, and we live in the countryside. When Ramadan comes, you know the houses are far apart from each other; there is no village center or anything like that. They are spread out, with each person building in a place far from the next, and each person prays in his own house.
And when Ramadan comes, each person starts his car and they go to the Tarawih prayer. They pray Tarawih and gather in the mosques that are close to them from here, and so on. I don't know, I mean, is their action correct or not? Thank you. I have another question as well. Okay, take it easy.

Answer:
There is no harm in that if the houses are far apart, so each person prays in his place. But if they need to gather, such as for the Tarawih prayer, because it requires gathering, then there is no harm in their gathering. There is a signal drop.

The presenter:
Okay, let us suffice with this. Thank you, thank you, because there is a signal drop, my brother. Thank you.
