Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: Is it permissible to buy and sell in the mosque for matters related to charitable projects?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible to buy or sell in the mosque under any circumstances, nor to call out for lost items, such as saying, "Whoever found such-and-such item or such-and-such object." This is not permissible. Mosques are not a place for buying and selling or calling out for lost items; rather, they are for the remembrance of Allah and establishing the prayer. Even if the buying and selling is intended for good, it is not permissible. Yes.
