Is it obligatory to enter the mosque through Bab al-Salaam and exit through Bab al-Wadaa’?
Dear Brothers & Sisters,As-Salaamu-Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)
One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:
Is exiting through Bab al-Wadaa’ obligatory for the one who has bid farewell (by doing the farewell tawaaf)? Is entering through Bab al-Salaam obligatory?.

Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
It is not obligatory for the one who has bid farewell to exit through the gate mentioned, Bab al-Wadaa’; and it is not obligatory for the one who is coming to enter through Bab al-Salaam.
And Allah is the source of strength. May Allaah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions. End quote.
