Question
A Muslim organization conducts its annual general meetings inside the Musjid. Voices are raised and the respect of the Musjid is not observed. Is it permissible to hold such meetings inside the Musjid?
Answer
It is not permissible to have the annual general meeting in the Musjid. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) prohibited any worldly talk in the Musjid. Those who hold their annual general meeting in the Musjid are in grievous error. They are signs of Qiyaamah. Among the lesser signs of Qiyaamah as mentioned by Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) is: "Voices will be raised in the Musaajid." Nabi (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) also said: "Conversation in the Musjid devours good deeds just as cattle devour grass."
