What is the ruling on one who hangs sales advertisements on the doors of the mosque?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : Some people hang advertisements about their sales and trade inside the mosque, and sometimes they hang them on the doors. Is this permissible...
The Shaykh : As for hanging them on the outer door, there is nothing wrong with it; that is, advertisements for buying, selling, and renting at the doors of mosques are permissible. For example, an announcement about a lost item is also fine. But as for inside the mosque, it is not permissible, and it is obligatory for whoever sees them to tear them up.
The questioner : They distribute them, entering inside the mosque.
The Shaykh : And this is not permissible; it is to be forbidden, because this is of the same kind as haggling in the mosque.
