The Problem of Mobile Phones in Mosques
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right, Shaykh, I would like you to address a word to those who enter the mosques with these mobile phones and pagers, and the tragedy is that most of these devices contain composed music, in the mosques, Shaykh. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And I see that what a person should do when he enters the mosque is to turn them off, because some people make many calls on them,
The questioner : Yes, that is correct.
The Shaykh : so they disturb the worshippers and distract them. And the matter is easy; it is only a few minutes, and then the prayer is over.
The presenter : Yes, indeed, Shaykh. Yes, may Allah reward you with good, Shaykh. May Allah keep you safe. Peace be upon you.
