Is it permissible to talk in the mosque before or after the prayer?

Question:
Is it permissible to talk in the mosque after the prayer or before the prayer, for example, if the mu'adhdhin has not yet called for the prayer, meaning we are waiting and the rest of the people are waiting too? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Yes, waiting for the prayer in the mosque is a great reward, and the one who waits for the prayer is in prayer, as came in the hadith. the measure of the one praying, and it is not fitting for one in this state to occupy himself with words that have no benefit or with the affairs of this world. And it came in the hadith that the Muslim and the angels seek permission for him, saying: O Allah, forgive him, O Allah, have mercy on him, as long as he does not speak or pray. May Allah reward you with good and do you good.
