The ruling on the prayer of one who enters the mosque with a mobile phone containing musical tones
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: One of the people was next to me in prayer, and his phone was on with musical tones. My question is: Does the prayer of such people, who enter the mosques with these mobile phones that have the sounds of songs and musical instruments, become invalid?
Answer:
Their prayer is valid, but they sin by using them, or rather, they sin by carrying these tones and these mobile phones that ring with sounds that are not permissible. So if he wants to enter the mosque, he turns off the phone or puts it on silent until he leaves the mosque. And the mosque should not be a place for phone calls or a place for ringing mobile phones and players, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
