Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to take any book, whether it is the Qur'an or any other book that has "waqf" (endowment) written on it? Is it permissible to take it from the mosque?
Answer:
It is not permissible to take it from the mosque; rather, it should be left in the mosque so that those in the mosque who are readers may benefit from it. They may read it and derive benefit from it. This is because the one who placed it in the mosque or in the mosque library intended to benefit people. Therefore, do not take the mushaf that is in the mosque, nor the book that is in the mosque. Leave it for the readers in the mosque or in the library within the mosque.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
