Question
There is a jamaat khana alot closer than the musjid to my home where 5 times salaah and jummah are performed. Is it permissible/advisable to join in the congregational salaah here?
Answer
If the musjid is not too far from your home then you should perform the namaaz in the musjid.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

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