Does the prayer ground have the ruling of a mosque, such that one prays the greeting of the mosque in it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We mentioned that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted the Eid prayer ground the characteristics of a mosque. So, do we pray two rak'ahs in it, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes, one prays two rak'ahs in it as the greeting of the mosque. Yes, we mentioned this previously. If you go back to the recording, we discussed it thoroughly.
The questioner : He mentioned the hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): to the end. Is it prescribed for the imam to say to the people?
The Shaykh : As you saw, the scholars differed regarding this hadith: whether it is connected, or not connected, or disconnected. The most likely, and Allah knows best, is that it is a mursal (a report missing the Companion link), which is the most correct. Therefore, the second narration from Ahmad is that the khutbah is obligatory, and it is obligatory to listen to it and attend it. If we say it is permissible to leave while the imam is delivering the khutbah, and all the people leave, that is a problem. What benefit remains for the khutbah if the imam moves from the minbar and walks, or walks from his place if there is no minbar?
