Question:
The questioner says: What is Your Eminence’s opinion regarding mobile phones, given that they distract the worshippers from their prayer and interrupt the prayer? We ask for your guidance.
Answer:
As for interrupting, they do not interrupt the prayer, but they distract the worshipper and those around him if a call comes in and makes a sound. This distracts the worshipper and those around him, so he should not bring it with him into the mosque. If he does bring it with him, he should turn it off when he leaves the mosque, so that he does not disturb himself or others, and so that there is no unpleasant sound in the mosque, such as the sound of music. Yes.
