Taking a mushaf from the mosque and placing another in its place
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: There are mushafs in some mosques that remain in their place for months without anyone reading from them. His question is: Is it permissible for me to take one of them and put another in its place, since the mushaf I would take from the mosque is comfortable for my eyes while reading, and there is nothing like it in the market?
Answer:
It is not permissible to do this, because this is an endowment (waqf) for a specific place, a specific mosque, and it is not permissible to take it out of it. The libraries, praise be to Allah, are full of mushafs in all sizes. So go to the library and buy the mushaf that suits you, or ask those who distribute mushafs; ask them to give you a mushaf or more. Yes.
