Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: The owner of a bank built a mosque. Is it permissible to pray in it, given that we know it was built with haram (forbidden) money?
Answer:
If you know that it is haram (forbidden) money, do not pray with it. But if you do not know, and he has lawful money and haram money, and you do not know which is which, then pray, because you are not certain that it is from the haram. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to eat the food of the Jews, and they dealt in riba (usury or interest), because they had money from lawful sources; not all their money was haram, nor was it all from riba. Yes.
