There are no other rooms. I  want to know if it is forbidden to use this room for teaching martial  arts (self-defense) to children or adults. If you believe that it can be  then please support your answer with proper references from the basic  sources of religious knowledge in Islam, the Qur\u2019an and the Sunnah.<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>I believe  that it is not proper to use the mosque for such purposes as the love  and veneration we have for the mosques does not allow it. It is against  mannerism Muslims have adopted for the house of God. However, to say  that it prohibited to use the mosque for such activities calls for sound  evidence from the Qur&#8217;an and the Sunnah. We do not find such  prohibition in these sources. It is not right to demand arguments from  the one who says it is not <em>haram<\/em>. Rather it is upon the one who claims it is <em>haram<\/em>  to bring the proofs. For example we use cars. We consider it to be  allowable to use them for different personal and public purposes. If  someone claims that it is forbidden to use cars altogether or in some  specific ways then he may bring proofs from the basic sources of  religious knowledge. The burden of proof cannot put on those who do not  make such claims.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-02<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6744\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We  have converted a house into a place to pray.
