The ruling on collecting donations in the mosque during lectures
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this is a question from the women. The questioner says: There are women who come to attend lectures in the mosque, and they bring with them donation boxes for charitable organizations, or for a marriage assistance project. The question is: Is it permissible to donate to them in the mosque?
The Shaykh:
Regarding donating, no one prevents a person from donating in the ways of good; no one prevents it. However, the fact that they occupy the attendees with asking, this is not befitting; this is not befitting. The place is not a place for collecting donations; the place is a place for listening and seeking knowledge. Yes, it should be that mosques do not become a venue for asking, boxes, and donations that occupy people with that. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. Yes, indeed.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
