Praying in a mosque built with forbidden money

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And is it permissible to build a mosque on…?

Answer:
If it was built with forbidden money, such as riba (usury or interest), gambling, or the like, then no, one does not pray in it. However, if it was built with pure money, one does not pray in it only if the builder had an intention of calling to disbelief or the like.
