Question:
If a person, Shaykh, has a home that is far from the mosque and goes by car, does he get the reward required of the one who walks?

Walking is better, and riding is permissible. Riding is permissible, especially for an elderly person or a sick person who is unable to walk; if he rides out of necessity, yes, the reward of the one who walks is written for him. As for if he rides without necessity, this is permissible and mubah, but it is not like the one who walks on his feet. Yes.
