He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. There is a large library in one of the mosques, and it has a copying machine that copies ten sheets for one riyal in this mosque. Does this fall under selling in the mosque?
The Shaykh:
Yes, it is not permissible to make the mosque a place for a trade, a place for a trade of copying papers or manufacturing something of the professional matters. These are not to be in the mosque. Yes.
The questioner:
He says:
The Shaykh:
If the room was separated from the mosque and its door opened onto the street, there is no harm. But if its door opened onto the mosque, it is considered part of the mosque. Yes.
