Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: We heard your fatwa forbidding charging a mobile phone from the mosques. The question is: do government offices, such as schools, institutes, and others, fall under this ruling?
Answer:
Making this a regular practice is not permissible. However, if one does it occasionally out of need, this is something that is tolerated.
