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

Q: 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?

A: 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.
