Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: In some mosques, a merchant comes to sell in front of the mosque, and this is before the obligatory prayer. He sells and buys. Is this forbidden?
Answer:
If the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan for Jumu'ah, it is forbidden. He covers his mat and enters to pray. Or if the iqamah is called for a prayer other than Jumu'ah, or if the iqamah is called for a prayer other than Jumu'ah, he covers his mat and enters. It is not permissible for him to sell and buy while the people are praying. Yes.
