Lectures on worldly matters inside the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The issue is what came in the hadith that mosques were built only for establishing prayer, the remembrance of Allah, and reciting the Qur'an. Does this contradict holding lectures in the mosque on worldly matters? For example, lectures on physical health or general health?
Answer:
This is from the matters of this world that are not permissible in the mosque. The issue of commercial lectures and industrial lectures; these are matters of this world. They are not held in mosques, but in lecture halls, in schools, and in places other than mosques, because they are purely worldly matters.
