Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. The sister questioner, Umm Ahmad, says: I have a sum of money. I want to use it in the reward of building a mosque or participating in building a mosque, or does the Shaykh see that I should put it into cold water dispensers to be placed in the streets and at the doors of mosques? This is according to the need, if there is one.
Answer:
If the Muslims need a mosque to be built, then she builds the mosque with it. But if the mosque is already built and they are in need of cold drinks in the summer, then she puts it into drinks and cold water in the summer according to the need. And if there is poverty and destitution, a poor person or a needy person, or a debtor who is unable to pay, then it is better that he be helped, and that the poor person be given in this case. Yes.
