The ruling on placing an announcement board inside the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible to place an announcement board in the mosque for lectures, at the back of the mosque behind the worshippers, where they do not face it during their prayer?
The Shaykh:
The Committee has issued rulings stating that announcements for lectures or other matters are not to be placed inside the mosque. They are to be placed outside the mosque, on the walls outside the door, so that they do not contradict the view from the outside, not from the inside. Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
But the young people now, or many of them—may Allah reform them—have turned the mosques into museums, hanging on them whatever they want. This is not permissible. They say these are dhikr (remembrance of Allah) and this is education. This is not acceptable at all in the mosques. Yes.
