What is the ruling on turning off the air conditioners in the mosque, which leads to a rise in temperature inside it?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Turning air conditioners on or off is the prerogative of those responsible for the mosque, such as the Imam and the Mu'adhdhin. Worshippers should leave this matter to them. No one has the right to turn off the air conditioner if doing so harms others and leads to a lack of devotion. Therefore, the conditions of the worshippers should be taken into consideration, and their opinions should be heeded.
