Is it permissible to pray in a mosque with a mobile phone that contains songs and the Holy Quran in the same memory?
It is disliked for a worshipper to carry anything that distracts him from khushu' (devotion). It is forbidden to carry music and immoral songs, and they must be removed. Carrying a phone that contains them does not invalidate the prayer, but the sin is greatly magnified for anyone who enters the mosque with it and does not turn it off, knowing that those sounds will be heard, as this constitutes a lack of reverence for the rituals of Allah and causes harm to the worshippers. It is obligatory to change the songs to something permissible and to turn off the phone in the mosque before praying. The Qur'an and songs should not be downloaded onto the same chip, and if there is a mixture between them, it is impermissible, as it involves mixing truth with falsehood and trivializing the Qur'an.
