Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
Those people say that the prohibition mentioned in the hadith is a prohibition of dislike (tanzihi), not of strict prohibition (tahrimi),
that is, it is better not to sell,
but this is a mere interpretation.
When there is an explicit prohibition in an authentic hadith, then while refraining from buying and selling in the mosques, the distinction between the marketplace and the mosques should be maintained.
The previous nations were destroyed due to their disobedience to the commands of their prophets (alayhim as-salatu was-salam) and their erroneous interpretations.
(Allahumma ahfazna bima tahfazu bihi ‘ibadaka as-salihin)
