The Ruling on the Greeting of the Mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on the greeting of the mosque? Is it obligatory when a person enters the mosque?

Answer:
No one has said that it is obligatory. Those whose words are considered hold that it is a recommended practice (sunnah) based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
Five prayers which Allah has made obligatory in the day and the night.خمس صلوات فرضهن الله في اليوم والليلة
When the Bedouin was shown by the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) the five prayers, he said:
Is there anything else required of me, O Messenger of Allah? He said: No, except if you offer voluntary prayers.هل علي غيرها يا رسول الله؟ قال لا إلا أن تطوع
Yes.
