b'What exactly is a masjid? Is there a difference between a masjid, musall\\u0101, and jam\\u0101t kh\\u0101na, etc? These are questions which need detailed discussion.\\n\\nNowadays, in the west, many Islamic Centers being managed include, among other things, a prayer hall, musall\\u0101, or jam\\u0101t kh\\u0101na. Some communities rent an industrial unit, a store front, a house, or an apartment in which members of the Muslim community gather to perform congregational prayer (and in many cases\\nsocial activities). Many communities actually have purchased property which they consider their masjid.\\n\\nWhich of the above can technically be considered a masjid, and what are the related rulings?'
