The ruling on placing trash bins in the mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Something about them being behind the earthquake and the small neglected items in the mosque.

Answer:
If the trash bins, the containers in which the trash is collected, are not left in the mosque, but are collected and taken out immediately, there is no harm. However, if they are left in the mosque for a period or days, this is not permissible. It is not permissible to leave them for a long time or for days, because they disfigure the mosque, and perhaps a foul smell or unsightly sights may emanate from them.
The result is that if they are promptly emptied and taken outside the mosque, there is no harm. But if they are left in the mosque for a long period, and trash and things that may produce foul smells are collected in them, this is not permissible. Yes. There is no difference; there is no difference in placing them wherever is convenient for the worshippers.
