The second question of Fatwa No. ( 16816 )
Q 2: The imam of the mosque does not enter except through the Friday door next to the mihrab, and he does not pray the greeting of the mosque in all the obligatory prayers, knowing that there is no crowding in the mosque. What is the ruling on this action?
A 2: There is nothing wrong with the imam or anyone else entering the mosque from any door. If the prayer is announced immediately upon his entry, there is no greeting of the mosque, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Jami` at-Tirmidhi 421Sahih (Darussalam) . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
