Disposing of the father's bequeathed funds for the construction of a mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Ahmad, says: My father (may Allah have mercy on him) gave me approximately forty thousand to contribute to the construction of a mosque. I gave ten thousand of it to the imam of the mosque so he could get married, because he is poor and has no job. Do I return the ten thousand to the mosque?
Answer:
Yes, you made a mistake in this. You disposed of the money in a way other than what your father bequeathed. It is obligatory to carry out the bequest as the testator ordered. So you must pay the ten thousand and add it to the amount designated for the mosque. Yes.
