Disposing of the old carpet of the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a mosque had its carpet replaced with a new one. Is it permissible to distribute the old carpet among the poor, given that no other mosque was available to place that old carpet in?
Answer:
No. The property of the mosque is to be spent in another mosque. If it has value, it is sold and its value is spent for the benefit of the mosque. If it cannot be bought, it is kept until another mosque in need of it becomes apparent, and it is given to them. Yes.
