The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah bless you, what is your view on the greeting of the mosque?
The Shaykh : Hm?
The questioner : What is your view on the greeting of the mosque?
The Shaykh : In what?
The questioner : What is the ruling on the greeting of the mosque?
The Shaykh : What is the ruling?
The questioner : The greeting of the mosque.
The Shaykh : The greeting of the mosque. It appears to me that it is a confirmed recommended practice (sunnah muakkadah) and not obligatory. This is because there are reports indicating that it is not obligatory. For example, the preacher on Friday arrives, moves forward, and delivers the first sermon, then sits down. Also, there is the story of the three men who entered the mosque: one sat in the circle, the second sat behind it, and the third left. The apparent meaning of this hadith is that the two men did not pray the greeting of the mosque. Yes.
