Taking the napkins placed in the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, may Allah reward you, says: Whenever I enter the mosque and find napkins, I take a quantity of them and put them in my pocket.
Answer:
Take only what you need. They are placed there for those in need inside the mosque, for those in need within the mosque. As for taking something from them to take out of the mosque, no. They are an endowment (waqf) for the mosque, so it is not permissible to take them out to your house or to another place, or to take more than what you need in the mosque. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
