The ruling on discussing worldly matters inside the mosque

The letter before us is from Sultan Rabie Jabir al-Mutairi from al-Madinah al-Munawwarah. It says: To the honorable Shaykh Abd al-Aziz ibn Abd Allah ibn Baz (may Allah preserve him): What is the ruling on talking in the mosque, meaning: chit-chat, such as: I see a friend or relative in the mosque before or after prayer and I greet him, how are you, how is your health, please join us, and other such talk?
Answer: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow his guidance.
As for what follows:
Talking in the mosques, if it is about worldly matters, and talking among brothers and companions about their worldly affairs, if it is little, there is no blame on it, if Allah wills. But if it becomes much, it is disliked. It is disliked to make the mosques a place for worldly conversations; for they were built for the remembrance of Allah, reciting the Qur'an, the five daily prayers, and other forms of good, such as voluntary prayers, i'tikaf (spiritual retreat in the mosque), and circles of knowledge. As for making them a place for chit-chat about worldly matters, that is disliked. But the little amount that is needed when greeting a brother one has met, asking about his condition and his children, or things related to this or worldly affairs, but not in a long manner, rather in a brief manner, there is nothing wrong with that.
