Is there any advice regarding staking out places in the mosques and reserving spots?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : We also ask for advice regarding the issue of staking out places in the mosques, reserving them?
This has been discussed at length previously, and it was clarified that if a person reserves a spot while he is in the mosque, there is no harm, but if he is outside the mosque, he does not reserve it. It was also mentioned that some scholars permitted this, but it is better not to do so. Yes.

The reciter: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions.

Then he said:
Jibril, peace be upon him, came جاء جبريل عليه السلام يعلمكم دينكم
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1544Sahih (Darussalam)
He made all of that religion, and what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained to the delegation of Abd al-Qays regarding faith, and the saying of the Exalted:
And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers. ومن يبتغ غير الإسلام فلن يقبل منه
[Ali 'Imran 3:85]

The Shaykh : The title of this chapter is long before I enter into it.
