The ruling on placing advertisements encouraging charity in mosques

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to place advertisements in mosques that encourage giving charity and spending money for the Muslims? I ask for clarification. Are they like commercial advertisements?

Answer:
It is not permissible to place advertisements in mosques, not for charity, not for anything, and not even for lectures. It is not permissible to place advertisements inside the mosque. Is this outside the scope of the fatwa? Advertisements for lectures and lessons are not to be placed inside the mosque, but rather on the doors outside the mosque. The mosque is to be preserved and kept free from these matters that are attributed to people and are not befitting of mosques. Advertisements are for the streets, advertisements are for the streets, not for mosques. Yes, that is the end. And may Allah the Exalted preserve us. Peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and those with them.
