Talking in the Mosques about worldly affairs:salah:


Praise be to Allaah.

Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘There will come a time when people will sit in circles in the mosques and they will have no concern except this world. Allah has no need of them so do not sit with them. ( Al-Haakim reported in al-Mustadrak (4/359)

This hadeeth states that this blameworthy deed is disliked, because the mosques are not built for such a purpose. Allah commanded that mosques should be built to remember Him and to conduct prayers and acts of worship and obedience to Him, such as I’tikaaf (retreat, seclusion for devotion and worship), and different kinds of dhikr such as circles for reciting Qur’an and seeking knowledge. How should one behave, especially in a masjid, when the Adhaan is being called? Are we allowed to talk worldly affairs while it is being called? Are we allowed to excange "Salaam" (greetings) while it is being called?
