Question:
Please, Abu 'Ammar, you are on the line, go ahead. Hello, yes. Peace be upon you. And upon you, peace. My brother, we have a mosque in the neighborhood and they have made a gathering place outside, outside the mosque. With me? Yes, that's right, and sometimes we sit in it, and sometimes there are lectures in it, and sometimes the residents of the neighborhood sit in it, socializing in ordinary gatherings, I don't know what the ruling on it is?
Answer:
If it is in the street, there is nothing wrong with it, but inside the mosque it is not permissible to make it a gathering place for anything other than worship and the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). If it is outside the mosque, there is nothing wrong with it.
The presenter:
Thank you. I have been stoned, I have been stoned.
