Ruling on preventing a poor person from asking for alms in the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am the imam of a mosque and I face many beggars after the prayer. Is it permissible for me to prevent the beggar from speaking and order them to go to the area near the door, or not?
Answer:
I do not know of any evidence in the Shari'ah that makes it obligatory to prevent a poor person from asking for alms in the mosque, except if it is known that he is a liar and not poor, in which case he is prevented from doing so. May Allah guide them all.
