Summary
The majority of scholars hold that buying and selling inside a mosque is disliked (makruh), while some other scholars consider it prohibited based on the Prophet's prohibition. The ruling applies to areas with the status of a mosque, namely the main prayer hall, which is agreed to be part of the mosque. Surrounding areas and corridors depend on the decision of the mosque management, which should mark the mosque boundary clearly so the public knows where trading is permitted.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
