The ruling on praying the greeting of the mosque after the festival prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If we pray the festival prayer in the mosque during these days, do we pray the greeting of the mosque?

Answer:
This is a matter of scholarly disagreement. Some scholars give precedence to the statement
(ﷺ) said: "When one of you enters a mosque, he must not sit until he prays two Rak'ah."صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا دخل أحدكم المسجد فلا يجلس حتى يصلي ركعتين
Bulugh al-Maram 2:138
, saying that this is a general rule for anyone who enters it for any reason, whether for the festival prayer or otherwise. Some generalize that there is no prayer before it or after it in its location. In any case, the matter is broad. If one prays and sits, he is not censured, and if one sits and does not pray, he is not censured, because everyone among them has a basis for their position. Yes.
