Question:
May Allah reward you, O honorable Shaykh. A questioner asks: Does the word "mosques" in the saying of Allah the Exalted: "And that the mosques are for Allah, so do not invoke with Allah anyone," mean the place of prostration?
Answer:
It was said that the intended meaning is the seven limbs upon which the worshipper prostrates, and it was said that the intended meaning is the known mosques, as in [the verse]: "And who is more unjust than one who prevents the mosques of Allah from His Name being mentioned in them?" So He attributed them to Himself, attributing these mosques to Himself, (Glorified and Exalted is He).
