Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on a person reserving a place for himself in the mosque, placing something there, and then leaving the mosque?
Answer:
If he left for a need and will return soon, there is nothing wrong with it, because he is in the position of one sitting in the mosque. But if he reserves it and goes to work, or goes to buy and sell, or goes to sleep in his house, this is not permissible. Yes.
