The Ruling on Selling in the Courtyard of the Mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: Is selling in the courtyard of the mosque, or the precinct of the grand mosque, considered selling in the mosque, and is it forbidden?
Answer:
Whatever is inside the wall of the mosque is part of the mosque, and it is not permissible to buy or sell in it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade buying and selling in the mosque. As for what is outside the wall of the mosque, there is nothing wrong with it; because it is part of the street, not part of the mosque.
