Does a Musjid have more virtue than a jamaat khaana?

Submitted by admin on Sat, 2016-10-08 15:35

Q: If a jamaat khana is on its own property, with the property being on a 'educational trust' etc with trustees etc, like how a normal masjid would be, all salaah etc But due to the zoning not yet being passed through the municipality as a religious site, it has not yet been declared a masjid. If the permission is granted, immediately it would be a masjid. My question is, is salaah in this jamaat khana inferior to that performed in a masjid 5 minutes away?

A: Obviously the musjid has more virtue. The virtue is confined to the musjid.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
