The ruling on building a mihrab in the mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is building a mihrab a recommended practice (sunnah) or obligatory?

Answer:
The mihrab is a marker for the qiblah. In a mosque that has no mihrab, when you enter, you do not know where the qiblah is. If you see the mihrab, you face the qiblah, and there is benefit in that.
