Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Does one testify to a man's faith simply because he habitually frequents the mosques?

Answer:
One testifies to his faith if you see a man whose heart is attached to the mosques, who visits them frequently, sits in them, and finds peace in them. This is evidence of faith. It is narrated in the hadith:
If you see a man frequenting the mosques, then bear witness to his faithإذا رأيتم الرجل يعتاد المساجد فاشهدوا له بالإيمان
Sunan Ibn Majah 802Da'if (Darussalam)
And in the authentic hadith about the seven whom
whom Allah will shade in His shade on the day on which there is no shade except His shadeيظلهم الله في ظله يوم لا ظل إلا ظله
Muwatta Malik 51:14
, one of whom is a man whose heart is attached to the mosques. The mosques are the houses of Allah, and they are places of worship, remembrance, glorification, and the recitation of the tahlil, and the performance of obligatory duties. The mosques are the houses of Allah, and they are the greatest and most beloved places to Allah on earth. Yes.
