Using the Musjid as a thoroughfare

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: To use the Musjid as a thoroughfare is makrooh. However, some ulama say that if one needs to pass through the musjid to get to the other side, then he should stop in the musjid, make one sajdah, and then pass to the other side, because sajdah is an ibaadat-e-maqsoodah, so if a person does an ibaadat-e-maqsoodah and then goes out the other way it will be jaaiz. Is this correct? Is there any other way out to this masla? Especially in places like the haram shareef and other big musjids, it becomes difficult to walk right around the musjid.

A: If a person finds difficulty in going around the musjid, then he may pass through the musjid. However, he should perform two rakaats nafl salaah or alternately, if this is not possible then he may make the intention of nafl i`tikaaf together with making some form of ibaadat.

( و ) كرهه تحريما ( الوطء فوقه والبول والتغوط ) لأنه مسجد إلى عنان السماء ( واتخاذه طريقا بغير عذر ) وصرح في القنية بفسقه باعتياده

قال الشامي في رد المحتار : قوله ( واتخاذه طريقا ) في التعبير بالاتخاذ إيماء إلى أنه لا يفسق بمرة أو مرتين ولذا عبر في القنية بالاعتياد نهر وفي القنية دخل المسجد فلما توسطه ندم قيل يخرج من باب غير الذي قصده وقيل يصلي ثم يتخير في الخروج وقيل إن كان محدثا يخرج من حيث دخل إعداما لما جنى ا هـ قوله ( بغير عذر ) فلو يعذر جاز ويصلي كل يوم تحية السجد مرة بحر على الخلاصة أي إذا تكرر دخوله تكفيه التحية مرة قوله ( بفسقه ) يخرج عنه بنية الاعتكاف وإن لم يمكث ط عن الشرنبلالي (رد المحتار 1/ 656)
