The ruling on disturbing worshippers with a mobile phone in the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Does this fall under the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Baqarah 2:114]? Mobile phones are ringing in the mosque, causing disturbance to the students during the lesson, and to the worshippers during their prayer.
Answer:
No, this falls under the category of the one who causes harm. As long as he does not cause harm, he is fine. The one who has a mobile phone that disrupts people is causing harm; this is causing harm, and his reward is cut off. As for being among those about whom Allah said:[Al-Baqarah 2:114], that refers to the disbelievers when they prevented the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from performing the 'Umrah, specifically the 'Umrah of Hudaybiyyah.
As for the prevention of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions from the 'Umrah of Hudaybiyyah, Allah revealed this verse for this nation; this was the occasion of its revelation. It is general for everyone who prevents the mosques of Allah from prayer and from the remembrance of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. He is an oppressor, and he is the most oppressive of people, or he destroys the mosques and demolishes them; he is the most oppressive.
He asks: Does this fall under the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And who are more unjust than those who prevent the name of Allah from being mentioned in His mosques and strive toward their destruction
وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن مَّنَعَ مَسَاجِدَ اللَّهِ أَن يُذْكَرَ فِيهَا اسْمُهُ وَسَعَىٰ فِي خَرَابِهَاAnswer:
