Question:
What is the ruling on reserving a place in the mosque for Quran circles or for other purposes related to the management of the mosque?
Answer:
It is not permissible to cause inconvenience to the Muslims. The mosque belongs to whoever arrives first, except for a person who is present and reserves a place because he is there, or because he has gone out for a need, such as performing wudu' or another necessity, and returns quickly; in that case, there is no harm in his reserving it. However, if he reserves a place and then goes off to his errands or his work, or sleeps and prevents those who come after him, this is not permissible. Yes.
