Question:
The hadith of Zayd ibn Aslam — the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to converse in the mosque while not in a state of ritual purity — what is the evidence that the greeting of the mosque is not obligatory?
Answer:
The majority hold that it is not obligatory, based on evidence other than this. In the hadith:Sunan an-Nasa'i 458Sahih (Darussalam), and how does one who is in a state of ritual impurity pray? He is excused. I say: the one in a state of ritual impurity is excused. How does he pray?
