Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions that came in on the program, the questioner says: Shaykh, what is the ruling on one who enters the mosque with a mobile phone that contains some clips and shilat?
Answer:
It is not permissible. This distracts the ma'mum and the worshippers. And if it is also from shilat and singing, then it is not permissible; it is haram. It is not permissible to have these shilat and songs and to enter the mosque with them. This is not permissible and is not fitting regarding the rights of the mosque, the prayer, and the worshippers. So he must turn off the phone and leave the shilat and not listen to them, because they are from amusement and from singing to which listening is not permissible. Yes.
