Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is the opinion of Honorable Shaykh Salih regarding some people who talk in the mosques without mentioning Allah (Mighty and Majestic), discussing matters and issues? Is this speech and conversation permissible in the mosques?
Answer:
This is disliked. This is disliked, because first, it involves degrading the mosques, and second, it involves turning away from the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and depriving the mosques of the remembrance of Allah, except out of necessity. If this conversation is out of necessity, contains no religious prohibition, and is not excessive, then there is nothing wrong with it out of necessity. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
