Hurting people in the Sacred Mosque

Question : The questioner asks: Is it permissible to frighten Muslims in the sacred land of Allah? And is it permissible to carry weapons in it?

Answer : There is no doubt that the situation of Muslims today is painful and sorrowful. We are all now witnessing the harm and things that should not be present in the land of this mosque. We are now, after breaking the fast, walking on dates, on date pits, on paper, and on things that are sad to see coming from Muslims. Therefore, I advise our Muslim brothers to know that they are sane, believing people who should respect this Sacred Mosque. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, as it is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), . And from the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) . So how is it fitting for people to dirty this Sacred Mosque with such harm? Therefore, I love for us all, when we see this matter, to advise one another so that the mosque of Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He), in which is His House, remains in the best possible state of cleanliness, with no harm or filth in it. And people, in reality, sometimes need strength. If gentleness does not benefit them, then the benefit is not established except by using gentleness first, and then if there is no benefit, we resort to strength. I have learned that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) used to strike whoever moved forward in the row or lagged behind, striking him with his staff until he entered the alignment of the row.
The important point is that if correcting people with the best manner does not succeed, there is no harm in using with them what is harsher until the matter is set right as it should be.
