Anas bin Malik (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH)
said, "Spitting in the mosque is a sin, and its expiation is that the
spittle should be buried in earth." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
Commentary
Cleanliness is an essential part of Muslim faith. Mosques
are holy and meant for worship, remembrance of Allah, recitation of holy Quran
and many other acts of piety. So it’s very important to keep it neat and clean.
Therefore, it is prohibited by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to spit in the mosque. But
to atone for spitting in the mosque, one should bury the spittle in earth, but
this applies when the floor of the mosque is covered with earth. As this is not
the case today, one should wipe the spittle off or wash it off with clean
water.
