Going to a musjid that is further away from one's home

Q: 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?

A: 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.
