Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. What is the ruling on speaking in the mosque other than dhikr and du'a', such as asking about conditions, about children, and the like?
Answer:
Speaking in the mosque, if it is about worldly matters, is disliked. If it involves forbidden speech or idle talk, it is forbidden. If it is asking about conditions and exchanging greetings, it falls under the category of greeting and getting acquainted, and making your Muslim brother's heart happy by asking about his condition and his children. This is something with no harm in the mosque. Yes.
