The Ruling on Reciting Poetry in the Mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is reciting poetry in the mosque permissible? He says: I am part of a group that does religious recitation?
Answer:
Recitation is not permissible in the mosque; this is a form of singing, and it is a practice of the Sufis, so recitation is not permissible in mosques. As for poetry, the ruling differs. There is nothing wrong with reading pure poetry in the mosque by one person, not by a group of reciters; rather, one person reads or delivers it. Hassan used to deliver his poems in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the mosque. Yes.
