Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a questioner says: If the Friday preacher enters, is it obligatory for him to pray the greeting of the mosque before he ascends?
Answer:
No, it is not obligatory for him. The greeting of the mosque is not obligatory. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not pray the greeting of the mosque when he entered to deliver the Friday sermon. He did not pray the greeting of the mosque, and the Salaf did not practice this.
