Answer
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
In this fatwa:
There is nothing wrong in going to the mosque where you experience peace and tranquility, and you get to know more people.
In his response to your question, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, states:
There is nothing wrong in going to the mosque where you experience peace and tranquility, and you get to know more people.
Khushu` or presence of mind is the essence of prayer. As long as you pray in the congregation, you are allowed to go where you are more likely to gain better khushu’. Allah says,
{Successful indeed are the believers, who have khushu` in their prayer (or those who pray reverently with peace of mind.} (Al-Mu’minun 23:1-2)
Having said this, I ought to point out, if it is a question of praying individually or in congregation then you should opt for the latter even if you can do it only in the mosque with a lesser number of congregants.
I pray to Allah to inspire us to pray reverently with true peace of mind.
Almighty Allah knows best.
