Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Likewise, O Shaykh, what about a building inside the mosque's enclosure, such as a room in the mosque's courtyard that serves as a library, for example? Is the greeting of the mosque obligatory for it?
The Shaykh : If one enters it through the mosque's door, it is part of the mosque. If one enters it through a separate door, it is not part of the mosque.
The questioner : Even if it is the imam's house?
The Shaykh : The outcome is the same.
The questioner : The same issue applies to the prayer halls, O Shaykh, where prayers are performed...
The Shaykh : ...Have we finished?
The questioner : All right, we have finished.
The Shaykh : If one enters it through the mosque's door, it is part of the mosque. If one enters it through a separate door, it is not part of the mosque.
