Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: In one of the mosques, dates are placed at the back so that whoever wishes may eat from them after the prayer. Is this action permissible?
Answer:
If there are people in need of dates or food, there is nothing wrong with placing them in the mosque, or if there are fasting people who break their fast with dates. There is good in this and there is reward, so there is nothing wrong with it, but the mosque must be kept clean of any waste. Yes.
