Question:
This is a questioner from outside this country. He says: There is one of the wealthy men in my town who donates a lot of money to the town's mosque. It is known about this man that he does not pay zakah and deals in riba. His question is: Is it permissible for us to take money from him as charity and use it to support the mosque and those who look after it?
Answer:
So what is in the mosque must be good money; only good, lawful money is to be spent in the mosque.
