ANSWER:

Its not an obligation to pray in the nearest masjid, you can pray anywhere you like (imam’s recitation, convenience etc)

QUESTION: I live 5 minutes from an established Masjid, but a new one is opening just 2 minutes away. This new Masjid is being built specifically due to personal disputes and community division. Given the Sunnah of attending the nearest Masjid, am I obligated to switch to the closer one, or should I continue attending the original Masjid to avoid supporting a division based on discord?
