Summary
In principle, buying and selling is prohibited throughout the mosque. Imam al-Nawawi stated that the most correct view among the majority of scholars is that it is disliked, except in cases of urgent need. Spaces built separately from the main prayer hall, such as car parks and areas specially built for other purposes, are permitted for trading. Such trade must respect prayer times and must not distract worshippers from the main purpose of coming to the mosque, which is worship.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berdasarkan nas dan hujah yang disebutkan di atas, kami nyatakan bahawa secara asasnya keseluruhan masjid adalah dilarang untuk dilakukan urusan jual beli.
