Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
There is a poster from your eminence regarding the change of curricula, and it is hung in many mosques. A decision was made to prohibit the pasting of this poster because you did not permit or authorize its hanging. Is this correct?
Answer:
Yes, I did not permit its pasting or hanging. I hold that mosques should be kept entirely free of posters; nothing should be hung in them and nothing should be pasted in them. Do not occupy people with posters in the mosques and advertisements, and they hang the page of advertisements, leaving it as if it were an office, as if the mosque were an office or a museum. This is a form of frivolity in the mosques, and this matter is not permissible. Yes.
