Is the covered area in the Prophet’s Mosque part of the mosque?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The covered areas in the Prophet’s Mosque, the ones outside the mosque?
The Shaykh : The ones in the Prophet’s Mosque are, of course, part of the mosque, and the rows are connected to it.
The questioner : Do you pray the greeting of the mosque there?
The Shaykh:...
The questioner:....
The Shaykh : Yes. The rows are connected. That means it is not permissible for you to pray here unless the path is blocked; in that case, you pray in the mosque. Likewise, it is not permissible to pray in the path, as we said, even if there is space in the mosque. But when the rows are connected to the right, to the left, or behind, and that is the qiblah of the mosque, and these rows extend to a street or streets, then the prayer is valid in that case. However, it is not permissible for a person to pray outside the mosque when he is able to enter the mosque.
