Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: There is a device placed in mosques to block mobile phone signals, and its value is about one thousand and two hundred riyals. Is it permissible for me to buy this device and place it in the mosque, and do I receive a reward for doing so?
Answer:
Yes, if it is beneficial and protects the mosque from the noise of mobile phones and the disturbance to the worshippers, then you are doing a good deed in this, because the mosque is not a place for calls and mobile phones; the mosque is a place of worship. May this be used in mosques so that people can rest from these mobile phones that have occupied them. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
