A Judge Deciding Cases in the Mosque

Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) wrote to the governors that the judge should not sit in the mosque for making decisions, as polytheists will also come to him while they are impure. Allah Almighty has said: {إنَّمَا الْمُشْرِکُونَ نَجَسٌ}.

Hazrat Masna bin Saeed narrates that I saw Hazrat Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Zararah bin Aufi (may Allah have mercy on him) making judgments on open ground outside the mosque.

Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Qais (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I saw Hazrat Yahya bin Ya'mar (may Allah have mercy on him) sitting in the mosque making judgments.

Hazrat Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) used to pass judgments in his house on rainy days.

Hazrat Ibn Abu Ghaniyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I saw Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) making judgments in the mosque.
