Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on mosques that are built by riba (usury or interest) banks?
Answer:
There is no harm in praying in them, if Allah wills. As for their owners, they will face Allah regarding their affairs, including what is in them. The mosque is not to be demolished. In other words, the money they spent on it does not harm the worshippers, and the mosque remains standing and does not harm the worshippers. As for the money they spent, Allah knows best about its status; it is not to be investigated. So the mosque that has been built is not to be demolished. Yes, one prays in it, and praise be to Allah.
