Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Noble Shaykh, what is the ruling on borrowing some items from mosques for schools or other places, such as microphones and loudspeakers?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible to use what is endowed for one purpose for another purpose. Therefore, the microphones, Qur'ans, books, and other items belonging to the mosques are not permissible to be moved to a school or to another mosque, except if the mosque is out of use, in which case they are moved to another mosque, not to schools.
The questioner : Is it taken for two hours, for example?
The Shaykh : Ah.
The questioner : For one or two hours.
The Shaykh : Not even one or two minutes, yes.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And how do we get the width and the length?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, they have no right to it now.
