Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I was the imam of a mosque, and a man gave me money to establish a library in the mosque. Then trials and problems occurred in the mosque, and I left it. This questioner says: I was the imam of one of the mosques, and a man gave me money to set up a library in the mosque. Trials and problems arose, and I left. I then took over another mosque. Is it permissible to spend this money on the new mosque, or does it belong to the first mosque, and the money is still in my possession?
Answer:
Ask the owner of the money for permission. I moved from the first mosque, where I was given the money to open a library, to another mosque. Should I take this money with me and open the library in the other mosque, or not? If he agrees, there is no harm. If he does not agree, return his money to him.
