Question
Some Ustaadhs teach their Hifz students inside the Musjid occasionally even though there are vacant classrooms as well as the sehen section at the back of the Musjid. Sometimes musallis come to the Musjid to perform Salaat. The class continues noisily and disturbs the musallis. Further, is it permissible to the Ustaadhs who are paid a monthly salary to teach inside the Musjid?
Answer
It is improper for these Ustaadhs to teach inside the Musjid for two reasons: (1) The musallis are disturbed. The primary purpose of the Musjid is Salaat. Any activity which disturbs or interferes with Salaat in the Musjid is not permissible. (2) The Musjid may not be used to earn. If the Ustaadh is paid a salary, then it is not permissible for him to sit inside the Musjid to teach.
