The scholars' convention of naming the greeting of the mosque by this name
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is there any evidence in the Shari'ah for naming the greeting of the mosque by this name?
No, may Allah reward you, the scholars agreed upon this term,And they said: that it is the greeting of the mosque,As for the text that was reported regarding it, it is: (When one of you enters the mosque, let him not sit down until he prays two rak'ahs) And it seems that they, may Allah have mercy on them, named it a greeting because the traveler, upon arriving, goes to the mosque and prays two rak'ahs before entering his home, so that he greets Allah the Exalted in one of His houses before greeting his family. This is a recommended practice (sunnah) that many people are unaware of and do not know: that when you arrive in a town, you pray two rak'ahs in the mosque before entering your home. This is analogous to their naming the sitting between the first and second rak'ahs, and between the third and fourth rak'ahs, the "sitting of rest" (jalsat al-istirahah),And this was not reported by this name, but they said: because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do it to rest, as he became heavy in his final years and would sit for it.
