Mosque
 Offering prayer in a neighboring mosque even though the worshippers are few therein is
superior to offering prayer in "Jaam'a Masjid" (principal mosque of the locality) notwithstanding
a large number of worshippers are there.- It is even better to proclaim "Azaan", utter "Iqaamah"
and offer prayer in the small (neighboring) mosque if Jama'at was not established there.
However, one can go to other mosque if there is any "Shar'i" defect or shortcoming in Imaam of
the neighboring mosque and offer prayer under the leadership of that Imaam who is religious
minded, pious and fulfills prerequisites of Imaamat.
