The ruling on the greeting of the mosque in the two Eid prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
You sent us a book containing questions about the two Eid prayers,And in the book you mentioned: stating that the Eid prayer ground has a greeting like the greeting of the mosque, and that when we prayed, many people criticized us, so what is the solution?
It is prescribed to perform the greeting of the mosque in the Eid prayer ground, just as it is in other mosques; if a person enters, he does not sit until he prays two rak'ahs.
The questioner: Even if it is outside the village?Answer: Even if it is outside the village; because it is a mosque, whether it is walled or not,And the evidence for that is: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prevented menstruating women from entering the prayer ground.
And this indicates that it has the ruling of a mosque.
The questioner: And one does not criticize the one who leaves off the greeting?The Shaykh: One does not criticize;Because some scholars said: it has no greeting.
But the stronger position is: that it is prayed in; because it has a greeting.
