Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, does the obligation to build mosques in a neighborhood extend to building a congregational mosque for the Friday prayer in the entire city?

It is undoubtedly obligatory, and attending the Friday prayer in the mosque is stronger than attending the congregation on days other than Friday, so it is more obligatory.
The questioner : May Allah reward you. A man built a corner in his house.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Then they wanted to build another mosque in another location...
