Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a question from the administration of one of the mosques in Britain. They say: We are currently renovating our mosque, and we want to place a support in the first row for those who come forward to lean on. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, if it helps those who come forward and provides them with rest. There is no harm. Yes, we will remove these, you are the ones building these, we will remove them. There is no obstacle. But some ignorant people say this is not permissible, and I do not know what, yes, it is from the religious innovations (bid'ah). Some of them say this is from the religious innovations, yes.
