Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The Shaykh’s position is to rebuke the one who places a row of them until the time of prayer.
The Shaykh:
The placement.
The questioner:
Patience, for it is the greatest of all mosques.
The Shaykh:
Because of what?
The questioner:
Buying used napkins and taking them, knowing that they will not be counted after three days or after a known period.
The Shaykh:
No, he is to be rebuked. Garbage is not to be placed in mosques, even if it is in containers or bins, and it is to be removed immediately.
