Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible to place small boxes in the mosque for collecting trash, may Allah honor you? These are to be used for used tissues and other things?

Answer:
If they are taken out and emptied. But if they are left in place and allowed to accumulate dirt and filth, this is not permissible.
