The Ruling on Shops Attached to the Mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Your Eminence the Shaykh! Some mosques have shops that open onto the street and are within the mosque buildings. Does this fall under the prohibition of making mosques places for buying and selling, even though their rent benefits the mosque?
Answer:
If they are outside the wall, no. Or if they are part of the mosque, it is permissible to rely on them and pray in them. As for if they are outside the mosque wall, they are not inside the mosque.
