Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to extend one's leg in the mosque in front of Qur'ans in the presence of people, given that one of the conditions of a witness's integrity is not falling into anything that undermines personal dignity? They have cited eating in the street, extending one's legs without excuse, and going out among people with one's head uncovered as examples of this.
Answer:
If there is a need, he may extend his leg. However, for a person who has no need to extend his leg among people, it is not a mark of personal dignity. Likewise, in a country where people respect the custom of not eating in the markets and do not approve of it, one who walks in the markets and eats, contrary to their custom, indicates a lack of seriousness and a lack of concern.
Q: Extending one's legs in front of Qur'ans?
A: As long as he did not intend to insult, but rather because he needed to extend his leg, there is nothing wrong with it.
