Question:

Is going to the masjid on a bike or car has more fazeelat than going on foot?

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Answer:

It is more virtuous to walk to the masjid rather than drive. If you can walk, then you should walk to the masjid. It is nevertheless virtuous even when you drive to the masjid but walking is more virtuous. (1)

Therefore, try to walk when you can.

Only Allah knows best
