Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If I have an occasion and some of the elderly come to visit me, and the mosque is far from us—if I have an occasion and some of the elderly come to visit me, and the mosque is three hundred and fifty to four hundred meters away from us—the elderly need a car to transport them to the mosque. What is obligatory for me in this situation?
Answer:
The active person goes and prays in the mosque, while the old man and the elderly person find it difficult to do so except by car, so he prays at home. As for the active person, he goes to the prayer in the mosque. Yes. And the heavy, sick person, and the mosque is far and he needs to ride. If he does not have a vehicle, he prays at home. Yes.
