The Ruling on Praying in a Mosque That Contains Innovations

Question:
The questioner says: There is a mosque near our house, and I am consistent—praise be to Allah—in performing the prayer and the congregational prayer. However, this mosque contains many innovations and newly invented matters. What is the ruling on my prayer there? Should I avoid it? Or should I pray in my house? Also, is it permissible to pray the Friday prayer with them? Or should I look for another mosque that is very far from my home? Please guide us in this matter.

Answer:
Yes, you must pray with them, and you must disapprove of the innovations to the extent of your ability. You must disapprove of the innovation to the extent of your ability. If the innovation does not amount to disbelief, you must disapprove of it to the extent of your ability, advise the people, and pray the Friday prayer and the congregational prayer with them, praise be to Allah.
If they respond, that is the obligatory duty. If they do not respond, you may move to another mosque that does not contain innovations. However, praying with these people has benefits, such as disapproving of them, calling them to good, and disapproving of the innovation with the imam and the followers who commit the innovation, using a good manner, a manner in which acceptance is hoped for. If they do not respond and you are able to move to another mosque, that is good.
