Disposing of the surplus revenue of the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If there is a surplus beyond the mosque's needs, is it permissible to spend it on the homes of the imam and the mu'adhdhin, or should it be placed in another mosque?
Answer:
It is only to be spent on another mosque, for those in need. This is different from what the Ministry spends on air conditioners or furnishings; the Ministry takes that. The Ministry takes it. If the annual budget is allocated for the mosque of the Ministry of Awqaf, the Ministry takes it and spends it on other matters. As for our discussion regarding endowments, if it is an endowment from a person, this is the nature of the research up to now.
