1. Does publishing video clips of course activities and children's recitations on YouTube with the intention of pleasing parents and friends negate the reward and constitute showing off (riya')? 2. Is it permissible to hold separate circles for males and females in the same small mosque with the mingling of children below the age of discernment, and is hearing women's recitations while they are teaching children considered unlawful (haram)? 3. Is participating in Mawlid and Ashura celebrations in Turkish mosques that include innovations (bid'ahs) considered a sin, and is it permissible to eat the food distributed therein? 4. Must the questioner leave the course due to the insistence of some supervisors on teaching children songs accompanied by music, and clapping for outstanding students, despite their need for Quranic education? 5. Is it permissible for menstruating women to sit in the prayer area (musalla) to teach the Quran due to the shortage of supervisors, and do all areas designated for the mosque (such as the main prayer area, the mosque courtyard, and the women's section) take on the ruling of a mosque for menstruating women?
The answer to the question is summarized in the following points:
1. Promoting a channel with the intention of benefiting relatives is not showing off (riya'). However, promoting it with the intention of receiving praise and commendation is showing off.
2. There is no harm in the mixing of children in Quranic circles as long as they have not reached the age of sexual maturity.
3. Innovation (bid'ah) is misguidance, and it is not permissible to participate in it. Those responsible for the mosque should be advised gently and kindly to clarify the innovative nature of their actions.
4. Teaching children permissible Islamic songs (anasheed) is allowed, provided they are free from forbidden music. Using music in the mosque is even more forbidden, and it must be denounced, and one must refrain from listening to it.
5. It is not permissible for a menstruating woman to enter the mosque or recite the Quran. However, the mosque's courtyard and its annexes where prayers are not performed do not fall under the ruling of the mosque regarding the prohibition of a menstruating woman entering them.
