Decorating the mosques<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful. <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Answer <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Building and furnishing a mosque for people to worship Allah (SWA) is a good deed which Allah (SWA) will reward the person abundantly.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Saaiduna Jabir Ibn Abdullah Radiallahu Anhu narrates that the Prophet of Allah Sallallahu Alahi Wasalam said \u201cWhoever builds a mosque for the sake of Allah, like a sparrows nest or even smaller, Allah will build for him a house in Paradise\u201d.\u00a0 (Sunan Ibn Majah p.53 v.1)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The jurists have said that besides the Mihraab it is permissible to furnish the other pats of the mosque as long as it is not done with the waqf (endowment) money of the mosque.\u00a0 If it is done with the endowment money it will be unlawful. One should not furnish and design the Mihraab too much as this may cause distraction to the worshippers praying there.\u00a0 (Fatawa Mahmoodiyah p.180 v.6 & Ahsanul Fatawa p.459 v.6).\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Care should be taken that one is not extravagant in the furnishing and decorating of the mosques.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Saaiduna Ibn Abbas Radiallahu Anhu narrates that the Prophet of Allah Sallalahu Alahi Wasalam said, \u201cI have not been commanded to build lofty mosques\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0 Saaiduna Radiallahu Anhu said \u201cYou are going to adorn (mosques) as the Jews and Christians adorn\u201d.\u00a0 (Sunan Abi Dawud p.71 v.1)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Only Allah Knows Best<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mohammed Tosir Miah<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Darul Ifta Birmingham<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Decorating the mosques In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.
