Feeling Conflicted: Seeking Guidance on Attending the Masjid
Salam, everyone. I've been having a tough time with something and would really appreciate some help from the community. My father has asked me not to pray at our local masjid. His concern is that he believes some of the imams and religious leaders there might not be following the right path, so he doesn't feel comfortable with us praying behind them. This has left me feeling really confused. I want to respect my father, but I also have a strong desire to pray in congregation at the masjid. Does anyone have any advice or know of any rulings from the Hanafi school of thought about whether it's permissible to stop going to the masjid in a situation like this? I'm trying to find the best way to balance my duties as a daughter and my duties to Allah. JazakAllah khair for any help you can offer.
