Reciting the dua before entering the masjid from where the masjid boundary starts

· 28 Jumada I 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) recommended to recite the dua before entering a masjid. Today many mosques contain areas such as wudu-area and toilet area. Where do we read the dua? Is it on passing the first door of the masjid or on entering the proper prayer area after wudu?

Answer

You may find out from the trustees of the musjid or the musallies from where does the musjid boundary start.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
