Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He has another point, Shaykh Salih. He says: Some of those in charge of some mosques do not maintain the mosque, perhaps with incense. Some mosques have a smell. What is obligatory for the one in charge of this mosque?
Answer:
It is obligatory for the benefactors to take care of the mosques, and it is obligatory for those in charge of them to take care of cleaning them, preparing them, and purifying them to receive the worshippers. This is what is required of those in charge. As for the incense, if there are endowments for it, then implementing them is required. But if there are none, and a Muslim donates for it, that is a good thing. Yes.
