What is the ruling on praying in an open area outside the mosque?

The questioner : Well, from another angle, Shaykh, regarding the imam being outside the mosque, meaning on any day other than Friday, meaning in the sun outside the mosque, they pray there outside the mosque entirely, they pray the midday prayer there or...
The student : ... .

The questioner: Yes.
The student : ... .

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Outside the mosque, Shaykh, they pray the midday prayer on any day other than Friday... any day of the year they pray outside the mosque in the sun, meaning far from the mosque's precinct entirely, is this permissible, Shaykh?

The Shaykh : What are they praying?

The questioner : They are praying the midday prayer, they are praying the obligatory prayer.

The Shaykh : Is it in the middle of the precinct, in the middle of the mosque building?

The questioner : Outside the mosque, O Shaykh, the mosque, the mosque.

The Shaykh : Listen, my brother.

The questioner: Go ahead.

The Shaykh : The mosque has, meaning, a precinct, they call it, meaning, an internal covered area.

The questioner : Yes, yes, I understand you.

The Shaykh : And there is an outer section.

The questioner : Yes, I understand you.

The Shaykh : The mosque's courtyard.

The questioner : I understand.

The Shaykh : So if they pray in the mosque's courtyard, it is as if they prayed in the mosque's precinct.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : But if they go outside the mosque building, this is not permissible.

The questioner : Inside the wall, meaning.

The Shaykh: Ah, yes.
