The ruling on distributing water to worshippers in the mosque, as well as books of dhikr

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
All right, let’s take Naif from al-Dawadimi. Go ahead, Naif. Problems. Peace be upon you. Two questions, Shaykh. Go ahead. The first question is, Shaykh, I bring water and printed dhikr and put them in the mosque; do I get reward? How, how? The first question, repeat the question. The first question: I bring healthy water and put it for the worshippers in front of the prayer area. And I buy printed prayer dhikr, I get it from someone and put it in the mosque so that when they wait for the prayer they can read it. All right, and the second question. The second question: I have land; do I pay zakah on it every year, or if I come to sell it, do I pay one year’s zakah? May Allah bless you, thank you. May Allah guide you. Healthy water, my brother.

Answer:
Water for the worshippers is a good thing, and may Allah reward you with good. As for the dhikr, my brother, do not put it in the mosque. The mosque is not a place for distributing books and placing papers, as some people do. They sneak in with them things, and the wicked exploit this to put shirk-related matters or bid'ah (religious innovation) matters in the mosques, or matters that have no basis, claiming that they are beneficial, and they distribute them to people and place them in the mosques. This is prohibited in the mosques. If you want to benefit people, distribute them outside the mosque. Distribute these reliable, correct books outside the mosque. Yes.
