Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes, he says in this hadith, in this chapter, there are issues: "The first issue: He says, the interpretation of the saying of Allah the Exalted: [At-Tawbah 9:108]" And we have already passed over its interpretation, and the pronoun refers to the Mosque of Harm. "The second: That sin may affect the land, and so does obedience". What is it?
The student: That it is forbidden to fulfill [the act] in this land because he committed sins in it.
The Shaykh : That when this place was a place of shirk (associating partners with Allah), it became forbidden for a person to perform [an act] in a way that resembles shirk in it, because slaughtering in this place, where he slaughters for other than Allah, resembles the polytheists in their action, and slaughtering in this place where there is an idol resembles the polytheists in their exaltation of this idol. Yes, good, yes. And so is the Mosque of Harm. And with this, it is possible for us to know that the difficulty in the issue of praying in the church is resolved. For the issue of praying in the church, although it is prayer, the prayer of the people of the church differs from the prayer of the believers, so a person does not resemble them in this action. Unlike slaughtering for other than Allah, or in a place where slaughtering is done for other than Allah, for the action is of the same genus; the action is one in its genus and species. Good. On this basis, if a person wants to pray in this place where slaughtering is done for other than Allah, but he is not slaughtering, is it permissible or not? It is permissible, because it is not of the type of worship that the polytheists do in this place. And also, does obedience affect the land?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : No, does obedience affect the land? Hmm.
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : What does it affect?
The student: The old mosque is better.
The Shaykh : Yes, mosques are better than markets, and the old ones among them are better than the new ones. So, obedience has an effect on the place.
"The third: Referring the problematic issue to the clear issue so that the difficulty is resolved" Where is the problematic issue?
The student: In the verse[At-Tawbah 9:108] in the saying of Allah the Exalted: [At-Tawbah 9:108] This is clear, meaning he compared the issue of... referring the problematic issue to the clear issue so that the difficulty is resolved.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : What is it?
The student: ... His saying, the Exalted... This is the difficulty...
The Shaykh : Where is the difficulty, where...?
The student: The difficulty is that in it...
The Shaykh : Yes
The student: His saying, the Exalted: ... This is the difficulty... Between His saying, the Exalted, that in it there is a difficulty.
The Shaykh : Is there a difficulty in it...?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Be patient, yes, O Saleh.
The student: The difficulty is in the verse.
The Shaykh : What is it?
The student: ... on the hand, in the verse there is evidence for the hand.
The Shaykh : ... .
The student: The difficulty is that the man intended...
The Shaykh : Meaning, you intend to seek clarification from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) from this so that the matter is not ambiguous.
The student: No, Shaykh, the apparent...
The Shaykh : Be patient, you are the last thing if no one remains, because this is a repeated answer, yes.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : How... Abdullah.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Yes, do you have something?
The student: In the verse, it is apparent... that they called, meaning, but the one who built it... that he answers or not in the prayer, this mosque, but there is a clear issue, which is the Mosque of Quba, so it is a mosque, meaning, founded on piety from the first day, so do not stand in this mosque, and stand in this clear one.
The Shaykh : The clear one, good. In... The closest thing to me is what Ghanim said, that the Messenger clarified the ruling to him by seeking clarification. Do you have an explanation?
The student: It was not mentioned.
The Shaykh : Never, or...
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : *Fath al-Mujid* did not speak. Allah knows best. I do not see what I can assert, but the closest thing to me is that he referred the problematic issue, because for example, the prohibition from slaughtering in this place is a problematic matter, but the Messenger clarified it by detailing or by seeking clarification.
Do not stand [for prayer] within it - ever
لا تقم فيه أبدًاThe student: That it is forbidden to fulfill [the act] in this land because he committed sins in it.
The Shaykh : That when this place was a place of shirk (associating partners with Allah), it became forbidden for a person to perform [an act] in a way that resembles shirk in it, because slaughtering in this place, where he slaughters for other than Allah, resembles the polytheists in their action, and slaughtering in this place where there is an idol resembles the polytheists in their exaltation of this idol. Yes, good, yes. And so is the Mosque of Harm. And with this, it is possible for us to know that the difficulty in the issue of praying in the church is resolved.

"The third: Referring the problematic issue to the clear issue so that the difficulty is resolved" Where is the problematic issue?
The student: In the verse
A mosque founded on righteousness

The Shaykh : What is it?
The student: ... His saying, the Exalted... This is the difficulty...
