Prohibiting workers from taking mosque water to wash cars

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I am a guard at a mosque, and some workers come and take water from the mosque to wash cars in exchange for money they receive. Is it permissible for me to prevent them from taking the water?

Answer:
Yes, it is not permissible for them to take the mosque water and use it for something other than what it was designated for. This water is designated for the mosque, so it is not permissible to take it for anything else. It is like an endowment (waqf) for the mosque. Yes.
