What are the rights of the mosque over the worshippers?

Question:
He asks: What are the rights of the mosque over the worshipper?

Answer:
The house is among the houses of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and it has etiquettes that should be observed. This is done by cleaning it, purifying it, and removing filth from it, and by perfuming it with fragrance and incense. It also includes sitting in it and waiting for the prayer in it, reciting the Qur'an, and the remembrance of Allah the Exalted in it. It must be kept free from talking about worldly matters, and likewise kept free from reciting poetry, buying, and selling. All of this is what the mosque is to be protected from. It is to be kept free from bad odors, so a person does not enter the mosque with a bad odor on him, such as the smell of garlic, the smell of onions, or leeks, or if he has sweat on his body that has an odor. Rather, he cleans himself, removes these odors, and perfumes himself when he arrives at the mosque. All of this is among the etiquettes of the mosque. Yes.
