Everything enclosed by the mosque's wall is considered part of the mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. The last issue from this listener is: Does the mosque's wall count as an accessory to it, such that all rulings apply to it, including the greeting of the mosque and congregational prayer? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes, everything enclosed by the mosque's wall is considered part of the mosque. Whatever is inside the mosque's wall is considered part of the mosque in terms of rulings, whether it is roofed or not. Therefore, if one enters it, it is prescribed for him to perform the greeting of the mosque if he intends to sit. It is not permissible for a menstruating woman or a woman in post-natal bleeding to sit in it, nor for one in a state of major ritual impurity, and it is not to be sold because it is an endowment attached to the mosque. Everything inside the mosque's wall is considered part of the mosque. Yes.
