Ruling on preventing food from entering the Sacred Mosque?

The questioner : The questioner says: What is your Eminence’s opinion on bringing food into the Haram, as well as recorders, knowing that they are prohibited from entering?

The Shaykh : Perhaps he means that they should take these recorders now, as they are allowed to bring them in with you. Say, perhaps he wants these recorders to be taken so they can be deposited in the storage.
As for food, I think it is very appropriate to prevent it from entering the Sacred Mosque, because when food used to be brought into the Sacred Mosque, the state of cleanliness was deplorable. If it were allowed to continue, the situation would become more severe, because now they have started bringing in cartons of milk and many other things that become waste, so the Sacred Mosque becomes filled with garbage. Therefore, I support preventing food from entering the Sacred Mosque. As for recorders, I see that if a person is recording the lessons of knowledge delivered by scholars, there is no harm in that, and I do not think the authorities of the Haram will prevent this.

Another questioner : And as for food, if one enters and is mindful of Allah.

The Shaykh : You are not the ones who are tired of my answer; I am the one who is answering.
