Using the Musjid as a thoroughfare
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.
