The ruling on intending a specific mosque for prayer in the hope of receiving charity

The questioner : A devilish intention alone, meaning the one whose intention is money and who came because money called him. This person prays in the mosque so that the imam who called him will give him something or the like. This is the intention, and he prays only for that.

The Shaykh : It depends on the intention. If what he intended was worldly gain, he is a loser. If he takes worldly things to help him in seeking the pleasure of Allah, there is no harm.

The questioner : The children of this year.

The Shaykh : A person must submit to some aspect of the worldly life. He prays with the congregation in any case, but he came to this mosque because, for example, there is a meal for breaking the fast there, or because there are people who distribute charity or the like. Otherwise, he is praying with the congregation in any case.
