Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes. The fourth question: It is known that buying and selling are prohibited in the mosque. Does the prohibition include leasing, lending, and other contracts? What is the ruling on these contracts if they are conducted inside the mosque for its benefit? May Allah grant you success. Thank you, thank you. Shaykh, buying and selling in the mosque, like lending and leasing, inside the mosque…
Answer:
Buying and selling in the mosque are prohibited, and the contract is invalid, and there is sin in it. Trade is the same, because leasing is the sale of benefit; leasing is the sale of benefit, so it is a sale in reality. Lending is the same. Likewise, worldly transactions are not to be concluded in mosques, because mosques are for the remembrance of Allah and for worship, and are not a place for traders, trade, or transactions; that is for the markets. Yes.
