Question:
Deliberately going to the farther mosque when a nearer mosque is available?
Answer:
If there is a benefit that conflicts with this, or if going to the farther one does not harm the nearer one and does not cause a bad impression, then there is no harm.
However, if the nearer mosque gathers people and provides a reminder, or offers them admonition, or they fear it so that the neighbors attend, meaning there is a benefit in its attendance, then he should pray in the nearer one.
Q: What about following a beautiful voice?
The Shaykh: There is no harm; it is a sound intention, like tarawih and similar prayers, or the Fajr prayer; it is a sound intention.
