QnA: The Fiqh of the Masjid (8/10)
Question
Can business be done in the Masjid?
Answer
Absolutely not. The Hadith is mentiond in Sahi Muslim that a person took his merchandise into the Masjid and Nabi Muhammad SAW made dua against him. The Masjid is not a place for business. Even the men sitting for Itikaaf cannot take merchandise into the Masjid or be busy on his cell phone or iPad etc causing a disturbance to others.
Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Jamiatul Ulama KZN. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
