Going to a musjid that is further away from one's home
Question
Is it ok to bypass the nearest mosque and go to a distant mosque in order to pray there, because the Imam of the (distant) mosque has good tajweed and tarteel and prays bigger surahs and is well acquainted with the Masail?
Answer
If you feel that the imaam in the nearest musjid is not reading the namaaz right you may go to the distant musjid.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
