The Shaykh:
What? It is possible to give it to a painter, and the people bring it. Hmm? Painting is known; you bring Sami and Shuja' for the mosque. Hmm? What does "painting the mosque" mean? He says for the sake of the mosque's paint or painting the mosque. He says the paint, painting the mosque. Yes, that is right.

The questioner:
I say, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I was given by a man.

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
If a man gave me money as a donation for the purpose of painting the mosque, and then a malfunction occurred in the air conditioners, is it permissible for me to repair the air conditioners with that man's money?

The Shaykh:
You take it so that the sin is connected from the painting to the air conditioning, so there is no harm. As for you shouting, you do not repair this.
