Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on seeking out abandoned mosques to pray in them and recite the Qur'an, on the grounds that they are the houses of Allah and should not be abandoned? And what is the course of action regarding these abandoned mosques?
Answer:
"Abandoned" means that their people have moved away and no one remains in them. So one does not seek them out, because they have ended; they have ended with the departure of their people. One does not seek them out. There is no report that one seeks out abandoned mosques. There is no report of this. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
