Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to cite what was reported regarding Anjashah as evidence for the permissibility of reciting poems in the mosque, knowing that this matter has begun to spread?
Answer:
Anjashah did not recite in the mosque, may Allah correct you. Anjashah was chanting for the camels while traveling on the road. The one who recited in the mosque was Hassan ibn Thabit. He recited in the mosque in defense of the call and in defense of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and in response to the polytheists. This is jihad in the path of Allah, in the mosque and elsewhere. Yes.
