Abandoning a particular masjid due to the innovations which occur therein
*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: Is it permissible to abandon attending a
masjid wherein there occur many innovations?

Response: It is befitting for the Muslim to exert himself in wiping out these innovations as much as he is able to do so. However, if this becomes impossible, then he should abandon attending this particular masjid and pray in a masjid within which there occurs no innovations.

And with Allaah lies all success and may Allaah send prayers and salutations upon our Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and his family and his companions.
