Is the greeting of the mosque obligatory in a prayer area where only one obligatory prayer is performed?

The questioner : Your Eminence, is the greeting of the mosque obligatory in a prayer area where only one obligatory prayer is established and the call to prayer is made?

The Shaykh : If this prayer area is reserved for the general public, its ruling is the ruling of a mosque. The evidence for this is that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made the Eid prayer area subject to the ruling of a mosque, , and this is proof that it is subject to the ruling of a mosque. As for a private prayer area that a person sets up in his home, or that some offices set up in an administrative location, this does not have the ruling of a mosque.
