Following worldly matters via the mobile phone inside the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sometimes, while we are in the mosque, we follow up on the affairs of our family or our business or trade through the mobile phone. Is this considered seeking worldly matters inside the houses of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)?
Answer:
Yes, this is a distraction from the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Mosques are meant for the remembrance of Allah and the performance of acts of obedience. Take advantage of your presence there by engaging in these righteous deeds. As for family matters and worldly affairs, those are outside the mosque. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you,
