Performing salaah in the musjid if it is nearby

· 27 Shawwal 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I am praying taraweeh in a place where five times prayers are offered throughout the year but not the Jumuah prayer. It is a small place with fixed Imam.

Can we pray Esha here or should I pray Esha in a bigger nearby masjid and then go there for taraweeh?

Answer

If the musjid is near then it is your duty to go to the musjid. Near would mean 2 kilometres.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
