Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is currency exchange permissible in the mosque, given that currency exchange is a sale?
Answer:
No, currency exchange is not permissible in the mosque. That is, opening an exchange office in the mosque is not permissible. Or if someone comes to you with dirhams and you exchange them for him into one-hundred riyal notes, or exchange them for him into tens, or into riyals, that is not permissible in the mosque. This exchange is a sale. You and he should go out of the mosque and exchange there.
