Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding His saying:[An-Nur 24:36] Does the verse indicate that lectures and sermons are to be held in mosques only?
Answer:
It is preferable. There is no doubt that it is preferable for lectures, lessons, and sermons to be held in mosques, because mosques are the houses of Allah, and a person finds more tranquility and attentiveness there than he finds in the street, in a club, in a camp, or in… Mosques have tranquility, they have tranquility, they have angels, unlike the markets which have devils and evil. Mosques are the houses of Allah, so they are more deserving of having lessons, da'wah, and lectures delivered in them. Yes.
