Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. There is more than one mosque in our neighborhood. The first mosque has two hundred people praying in it, the second has one hundred, and the third has fewer than that. How should I pray in one of these mosques?
Answer:
Pray in the mosque closest to your home. If your absence from it affects the worshippers and they miss you, then that is the case. But if your absence is not noticed, then going to the one with the larger congregation is better. Yes.
