Preventing people from the shade of the walls
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is your opinion regarding one who prevents people from the shade of the walls and keeps them away from it, saying, “It is mine”?
Answer:
If he suffers harm from the presence of people under the shade of the Shaytan, listening to him and his army, and remaining silent about it, then it is permissible. But if he does not suffer harm, it is not permissible for him to do so. Because these are public facilities. Public facilities. Unless harm results from their use. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: They listen to their secrets, or they listen to backbiting and talebearing, or they gather for foolishness and committing sins. In that case, he may prevent them in reality.
