The Ruling on Placing a Board in the Mosque for the Conditions of the Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The brother Ibrahim says: What is the ruling on placing a board in the mosque where we write the conditions of the worshippers, such as if one of them falls ill, or dies, or travels, and so on?
Answer:
The mosque is not a place for boards, hangings, or writings. There should be nothing of these writings or hangings in the mosque, because this distracts the worshippers. The mosque is not an exhibition hall or an office; the mosque is for worship and prayer only, reciting the Qur'an and remembering Allah (Mighty and Majestic). So avoid these hangings in the mosques. Sometimes something undesirable is hung, or advertisements, or some people hang commercial advertisements in the mosques, and some hang calls to bid'ah (religious innovation) and calls to shirk (associating partners with Allah) from the superstitious. If the field is opened, the mosque becomes a place for hangings, and everyone hangs what they want. It is obligatory to protect the mosques from all of that. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
