The Jumu'ah salaah in the New or Old Masjid

Q: Salaah-685: We have three Masaajid here, (1) the Kinaarah Masjid, (2) Tower Masjid and (3) the Fatah Islaam Masjid. Of the three, the Kinaarah Masjid is the oldest and it is here that the Jumu'ah salaah takes place. It can accommodate all the Musallis and also has all the necessary amenities. The second largest is the Tower Masjid, which is new and can also accommodate all the Musallis. Next comes the Fatah Islaam Masjid, in which it is difficult to accommodate all the Musallis. The question is in which of these three Masaajid will it be best for us to perform the Jumu'ah salaah?

Answer: The old Masjid in which the Jumu'ah salaah has always been performed is regarded as the Jaami Masjid and it is best to perform the Jumu'ah salaah there. It is inappropriate to leave an old Masjid to perform the Jumu'ah salaah in a new Masjid without good reason, even though the salaah there will be valid. And Allaah knows best what is most correct.
