The ruling on speaking about worldly matters in the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: While staying in the mosque, whether waiting for the prayer or after performing it, I and some of my neighbors and brothers chat with each other. Sometimes the conversation turns to worldly matters. I might ask him about a commodity, a property, or a car I want to buy, or I might look for a contact in a certain department, or I might drink. Is this permissible?
Answer:
This is disliked. Worldly matters should not be discussed in the mosque. It is not appropriate. One should remember Allah in the mosque while sitting, engaging in seeking forgiveness, reciting the Torah, and reciting the Qur'an, and that is better. As for spending your time in the mosque on worldly matters, that is a loss. Yes.
