The ruling on asking for rent and debts in the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it permissible to ask for rent and the payment of rent in the mosque?
The Shaykh:
Asking.
The questioner:
Asking for the payment of rent and debts in the mosque.
The Shaykh:
This is not appropriate, because this opens the door. But if you lent someone money and you are afraid you will not find him in another place, and there is no objection to that, whereas if you demand that people pay you in the mosque, you are gathering with them, this is not permissible. Yes.
