QUESTION:

I am planning to shift to a house very near a mosque. Does it become
obligatory to pray there? all salaat? with congregation if I am at home ?
Taqleed of Ayat Seestani


ANSWER:

Our Prophet (S.A.W.) and Aimma (A.S.) have emphasised on Salatul Jamaat
(i.e. congregational prayers) for all. But for those within a mosque's
neighbourhood, it has been strongly recommended that:
i) They should pray at the mosque always
ii) They should join Salatul Jamaat if it is established.
