In the Maghreb countries, special areas for prayer, eating, and drinking are set up in the hammams (public baths); what is the ruling on praying in them?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In our country, the Maghreb, there are many hammams (public baths), and a special place is provided there for prayer, as well as for eating and drinking. Is it permissible to pray in this designated place?

Answer:
If the place is inside the building of the hammam (public bath), no, it is an annex to the hammam. But if it is separate from it, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
