Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on studying and reading worldly books, such as mathematics and physics, inside the mosque for the sake of quiet and concentration? So I study these courses there?
Answer:
By Allah, the mosque is not for worldly matters, it is not for worldly matters, not for selling, not for buying, and not for earning a living through professions. The mosque is kept free of this. So whatever is possible, if you make a place other than the mosque, that is better. Yes.
