The Ruling on the Greeting of the Mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on the greeting of the mosque, Shaykh Salih?
Answer:
Its ruling is that it is a sunnah (recommended practice). It is a confirmed sunnah. It is one of the acts with specific causes. It is not obligatory. When the Bedouin was shown the five prayers by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he asked, "Is there anything else required of me?" He said, "No, except that you may offer voluntary prayers." This indicates that there is no obligatory prayer in the original Shari'ah except the five prayers. Yes.
