Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. There are copies of Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim in the mosque where we pray, and they do not have any writing indicating that they are an endowment (waqf). Is it permissible to take them home to benefit from them and read them?
Answer:
No. What is in the mosque, whether it is mushafs or books, is an endowment for the mosque, and it is not permissible to take them out of it. However, you may take them, sit in the mosque, read them, and return them to their place. Yes.
