Question:
There was a person who was distributing pamphlets and dhikr (remembrance of Allah) inside the Haram, so I prevented him from doing so and explained to him that this opens the door for innovators to distribute their innovations and publications. Is my action correct?
Answer:
Yes, this is correct. You advise him and say that this is forbidden. If he does not comply, you report the authorities in charge of the Haram so that they can prevent it. This is forbidden; no one distributes in the Haram, whether books, pamphlets, or anything else. If you advised him and he stopped, then praise be to Allah. If he did not stop, report the authorities in charge of the affairs of the Haram so that they can prevent him.
