The ruling on the salam when entering the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I have two questions, may you live long. The first is about the salam in the mosque: when a person enters the mosque, is it a recommended practice (sunnah), obligatory, or recommended (mustahabb)? He does not make a sound when he enters the mosque. He greets those present with, "Peace be upon you." Now, the second question: I have a young man from my community who lives near me, in my house, and he does not pray. I tried everything with him, but to no avail. Thank you, Abu Khalid. That is fine. Yes, yes, thank you, Abu Fahd. Please, Shaykh, the first question is about the salam in the mosque: if the one who prays enters the mosque and greets them, Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
Initiating the greeting is a recommended practice (sunnah) in the mosque and elsewhere, and returning the greeting is obligatory in the mosque and elsewhere. Yes.
