Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the criterion for distinguishing between a masjid and a musalla? Is the criterion that a masjid is the place where the five daily prayers are performed?
Answer:
A masjid is what is built for the five daily prayers; it has doors and such. As for the musalla, this is for times of need, in offices or workplaces. This is a musalla, not a masjid.
