Is it incumbent upon pilgrims to pray the "Greeting of the Mosque" (Tahiyat al-Masjid) when they pray in the pathways leading to the Haram?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
"The paths leading to the or other mosques are not considered a mosque, neither linguistically nor Islamically. Therefore, the of Tahiyyat al-Masjid (greeting the mosque) does not apply to them. The reason for praying Tahiyyat al-Masjid is entering the mosque, and one who prays in the path has not met the condition for this prayer, and thus it is non-existent in their case."
