Summary
In general, a mosque may hold knowledge sessions daily, as this is permissible and forms part of the trust and duty of the mosque management. It is better to vary the subjects and the speakers so that attendees do not grow bored. These sessions are not compulsory, so those who are not interested may skip them. A mosque may also leave certain days free and fill them with other activities such as Quran recitation or remembrance gatherings.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Secara umumnya pihak masjid boleh mengadakan majlis ilmu secara harian. Ini kerana perkara tersebut adalah harus hukumnya dan ia juga merupakan antara amanah dan tanggungjawab pihak pengurusan masjid.
