The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: There is a shelf in a mosque with books on it,
The Shaykh:
There are.
The questioner:
There is a shelf in a mosque, or a cabinet in the mosque, with books in it. Is it permissible for me to take a book and take it out of the mosque through the channel of lending, and then return it afterwards?
The Shaykh:
No, this is an endowment (waqf) for the mosque; do not take it out of it. Except with the permission of the custodian of the mosque, if he has the authority and gives you permission on the condition that you return it, there is no harm. Yes.
