Ruling on collecting donations in mosques

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This question is from the women, and the questioner says: There are women who come to attend the lectures in the mosque, and they bring with them donation boxes for charitable organizations or for a marriage assistance project. The question is: Is it permissible to donate to them in the mosque?

Answer:
Regarding donations, no one prevents a person from donating in the ways of good; no one prevents it. However, the fact that they occupy the attendees with asking, this is not befitting, this is not befitting. The place is not a place for collecting donations; the place is a place for gathering and seeking knowledge. Yes, it should be that mosques do not become a venue for asking and inquiring. People and donations occupy people with that. Yes.
