Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. What is the ruling on reserving a place in the mosque after the 'Asr prayer, then leaving and not returning until the Maghrib adhan? Is that permissible? This is when there are people in the mosque and others come after 'Asr.
Answer:
It is not permissible for him to reserve a place from them. However, if people do not come until the Maghrib adhan is called, then he may do so. But he should hasten and not delay; he should come before the adhan or with the adhan. Yes.
