The ruling on speaking about worldly matters in the mosque

Question:
If we have finished the prayer and we are in the mosque, is it permissible for us to talk about worldly affairs, or not?

Answer:
It is not appropriate to talk about worldly affairs in the mosque, because the mosque was not built for talking about worldly affairs; rather, it was built for the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and the recitation of the Qur'an. Therefore, it is not appropriate for a person to talk about worldly affairs in the mosque; rather, he should go out to the street, meaning that this should not become a habit. However, if a person asks a question once in a while, a mere question, and this is not his habit, there is no harm in that. That is, if he does not make it a habit to ask about a worldly matter, except if it is something the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) warned against, such as a lost item. That is not permissible in the mosque. But if he asks, for example, about other worldly matters, and this is not his habit and he does not make it a habit, there is no harm in that. However, it is better for this to be done outside the mosque. Yes.
