Musalla

A musalla (Arabic: مصلى, romanized: muṣallā) is a space apart from a mosque, mainly used for prayer in Islam.

[1] The word is derived from the verb صلى (ṣallā), meaning "to pray".

It is traditionally used for twice-yearly Eid prayers (ʿĪd al-Fiṭr and ʿĪd al-Aḍḥā) and for funeral prayers as per the Sunnah[2].

[3] “Musalla” may also refer to a room, structure, or place for performing salah[4] (canonical prayers), and this is also translated as a “prayer hall” when smaller than a mosque.

Such musallas are usually present in airports, malls, universities, and other public places in Muslim-majority countries, as well as in some non-Muslim countries for the use of Muslims.
