Have the same energy for the Religion, It’s more important!

Question:

O Shaykh, may Allah be good to you.
There’s a group of people that exercise in an area between Maghrib and ‘Isha, and the time of the ‘Ishā prayer enters while they are in that area they exercise in and then they pray in congregation there, while the Masjid isn’t far away.

What’s your advise for them?

May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:

In the same manner they were keen in strengthening their physiques, It’s more obligatory upon them to be keen upon strengthening their religion and hearts by performing prayer where it’s being called from.
