Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I pray in my home with my children because I live in an apartment far from the mosque. He says: And I go to the mosque by car. Is that permissible for me?
The Shaykh : Yes. It is permissible for a person, if it is difficult for him to attend the mosque on foot, to ride in a car until he reaches the mosque. However, the scholars say that this is not obligatory for him except specifically for the Friday prayer. As for the other prayers, he is not required to ride if walking is difficult for him, although riding and attending is better and more preferable. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and benefit the Muslims through you.
