Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Some of the worshippers who carry mobile phones, when one rings while he is in prayer, do not turn it off with the intention of being humble in prayer, and it may annoy or disturb the other worshippers. What is your guidance on this? Yes.
Answer:
It is obligatory for him to turn it off when he enters the mosque. It is obligatory that when he intends to enter the mosque, he turns off the mobile phone until he leaves, because the mosque is not a place for calls or mobile phones; it is a place for the remembrance of Allah and worship. So he turns off the mobile phone when he enters the mosque, and when he leaves, he turns it on. Yes.
