Buying from vendors at the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is it permissible to buy from the vendors located at the mosque, whether they are inside the mosque courtyard or outside?
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible to buy or sell in the mosques, and it is not valid. However, buying and selling outside the mosque gate is permissible for one seeking a livelihood,[Al-Jumu'ah 62:10]. This applies to any place outside the mosque, whether near or far. Yes.
The questioner:
Good, by Allah.
The Shaykh:
Unless they are bothering those coming out of the mosque, blocking the way; in that case, it is not permissible. But if they are on the sides of the road and are not bothering anyone, they may seek a livelihood. This also has a benefit for people, as they may provide you with a nearby need that you require, and you buy it from them, instead of going a long distance to find it nearby. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
