Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for one of the residents to live in the guard’s room, which is inside the mosque’s enclosure, with his wife due to certain circumstances, and because he is a teacher for memorizing the Qur’an, and they may engage in sexual intercourse in this room?

Answer:
No, it is not appropriate for him to reside with his wife in the mosque’s room, which is inside the mosque or whose door opens onto the mosque, because there is a fear that she may menstruate, or as the questioner mentioned, that he may have intercourse with her in the mosque. This is not permissible. However, if the matter is a dire necessity for one or two nights until they find a residence, there is no harm; a temporary situation is acceptable. But for a permanent residence, this is not permissible. Yes.
