Raising the voice and speaking about worldly matters inside the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second question, O Muhammad. The second question: We are praying in a mosque where there is disturbance. That is, there are some elderly people who talk about matters outside of prayer and outside of religion, meaning ordinary chit-chat and conversation, to the point where they disturb the worshippers. We want a word from the Shaykh for them. May Allah reward him with good.
Answer:
It is not permissible to raise the voice in the mosque regarding worldly matters or to speak about worldly affairs. Rather, whoever is in the mosque should occupy himself with the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and not disturb others, neither with dhikr nor with the recitation of the Qur'an. He should not disturb others, but rather consider the circumstances; he does not abandon the remembrance, nor does he disturb others, but rather he employs a method that involves no harm. Yes.
