What is the ruling if a person goes to another mosque that is farther away, but this does not result in hardship?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, if the hardship does not involve harm, meaning the man who I think made a vow, or the woman who made a vow and came to ask, and she is walking on foot, for example, this would result in great difficulty from her hardship, which is why the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said But the hardship, for example, I have a mosque near me and a mosque farther away by stages, but when I go to the other mosque, there is no hardship, meaning the hardship that involves harm, like the hardship that resulted in harm, as the Messenger of Allah said
The Shaykh : Now, let us assume that is the case, why does he intend the farther mosque?
The questioner : To increase the reward, but there is no hardship that leads to harm...
The Shaykh : This is this kind of excessive effort, and even if there is no hardship, this is from the excessive effort that is not recommended.
Indeed, Allah is free from your excuse
