The ruling on the greeting of the mosque at all times
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says in his final paragraph: Is the greeting of the mosque prescribed at all times, and during the times of prohibition, O Shaykh?
Answer:
Yes, the greeting of the mosque is prescribed at all times; because it is one of the acts with a cause. So if one enters the mosque after the 'Asr prayer to sit and wait for the Maghrib prayer, or for lessons, or for other reasons, he prays the greeting of the mosque. Likewise, if he comes after the Fajr prayer, he prays the greeting of the mosque; because it is one of the acts with a cause. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 1167 And in the other wording: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 316Sahih (Darussalam).
And likewise, if the sun is eclipsed after the 'Asr prayer, he prays for it, yes; because it is one of the acts with a cause. And likewise, if he circumambulates in Makkah, circumambulating the Ka'bah after the 'Asr prayer or after the Fajr prayer, he prays two rak'ahs, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Mishkat al-Masabih 1045. Yes
The presenter: May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.

If anyone of you enters a Mosque, he should not sit until he has offered a tworak` at prayer.
إذا دخل أحدكم المسجد فلا يجلس حتى يصلي ركعتينlet him perform two Rak'ah before sitting
فليركع ركعتين قبل أن يجلسAnd likewise, if the sun is eclipsed after the 'Asr prayer, he prays for it, yes; because it is one of the acts with a cause. And likewise, if he circumambulates in Makkah, circumambulating the Ka'bah after the 'Asr prayer or after the Fajr prayer, he prays two rak'ahs, due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
You descendants of ‘Abd Manaf must not prevent anyone who goes round this House and prays at any hour of the night or day he wishes.
يا بني عبد مناف! لا تمنعوا أحدًا طاف بهذا البيت وصلى أية ساعة شاء من ليل أو نهارThe presenter: May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
