The recent widespread use of pagers among people, which often disturbs worshippers during their prayer or during the Friday sermon
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He said: “Your Eminence, the Shaykh, the use of pagers has become widespread among people recently, and they often disturb worshippers during their prayer or during the Friday sermon with their ringing. So, would you please warn people about this? May Allah reward you?”
The Shaykh : By Allah, I warn about this that anything that harms the believers is prohibited. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to his Companions one day while they were praying and reciting loudly, and he said:Sunan Abi Dawud 1332Sahih (Al-Albani) This is the recitation of the Qur'an, so what about this bell? I have heard, and I do not know if it is true or not, that these pagers have a key that allows you to turn off the sound. If that is the case, praise be to Allah. If you attend the mosque, turn it off. Yes.
