Ruling on returning a mushaf taken from al-Masjid al-Haram
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. One of the wicked took one of the mushafs from the Makkah Haram and brought it with him to Riyadh. After five years, he gave me this mushaf, asking me to dispose of it. Is it obligatory for me to return it to al-Masjid al-Haram?
Answer:
Yes, the mushafs in the mosques are endowments (waqf) for them. The mushafs of the mosque are an endowment for it, and it is not permissible to take them out of it. Therefore, it is obligatory to return it to al-Masjid al-Haram. Whoever takes a mushaf from a mosque, it is obligatory for him to return it to it, because they are specific endowments for the mosques in which they were placed. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family.
