The ruling on hanging advertisements and promotions inside and outside the mosque

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible to hang advertisements and promotions inside the mosque? And what is the ruling on hanging them on the mosque from the outside?

Answer:
It is not permissible to display advertisements and promotions inside the mosque, because this distracts the worshipper, and because the mosque is not a place for advertisements. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited buying and selling in the mosque, so the mosque should not be used for advertisements. As for hanging them outside the mosque, there is no harm in it. Hanging them on the walls outside the mosque or on the door from the outside is permissible, though it is better to limit this to a minimum. However, if it is outside the mosque, the matter is different. A fatwa was issued long ago stating that there is no harm in placing advertisements outside mosques, while placing them inside mosques is prohibited. Yes.
