The ruling on using musical ringtones on a mobile phone and entering the mosque with it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a questioner, and this is the question, Shaykh. It has been presented to us, but for the sake of benefit, we present it to your eminence. It is also a recent issue: the ringtones that disturb the worshippers in the mosques from mobile phones. Does the one who enters the mosque with musical ringtones or others that disturb the worshippers commit a sin?

Answer:
First, musical ringtones are not permissible, neither in the mosque nor elsewhere, because they are from the forbidden amusement. Second, in the mosque, there are two prohibitions: first, that they are forbidden ringtones. And the second matter is that they disturb the worshippers. And the third matter is that they are displayed in the mosque, which is one of the houses of Allah.
So these people should fear Allah the Exalted and Majestic. If they set an alarm on the mobile phone other than musical ringtones, then when they enter the mosque, they should either turn off the phone or set it to silent mode until they finish the prayer, so that they are not harmed and do not harm others by it. Yes.
