Walk or drive to masjid

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Fatwa.org.au
Is it better to walk to the masjid or to drive there? My masjid is about a 10 minute walk away.

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

If one is capable of walking to the masjid, it is better to do so.

في باب الجمعة من مراقي الفلاح: والمشي أفضل لمن يقدر عليه ( مراقي الفلاح مع الطحطاوي: ص 516 ط العلمية )

And Allah knows best.
