The Ruling on Moving Between Mosques in Ramadan

Question:
The Shaykh, Abu Sultan from Jeddah, is with us on the line. Please, my brother Abu Sultan, go ahead. Abu Sultan, go ahead. All right, Shaykh Salih, what is the ruling on moving between mosques in Ramadan, for example, praying the first ten days in one mosque and the last ten days in another? Is there anything wrong with that?

Answer:
Yes, this indicates that this person’s aim is merely to enjoy the voices. That is why he goes from one voice to another, saying so-and-so is better than so-and-so, and so-and-so is better than so-and-so. As for the one who has a desire to pray, he remains in one mosque from the beginning of the month to the end, praying with the mosque’s imam, as long as the mosque’s imam fulfills what is required: he prays the tarawih, he prays the tahajjud in the last ten days, and he remains consistent in this. So this person should remain in the mosque near him and not abandon the mosque near him to go to a different mosque every night. He has no aim in prayer, and Allah knows best; his aim is only in the voices. Yes.
