The mosque built with forbidden money
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a mosque is built with forbidden money, should one pray in it or should this mosque be demolished?
Answer:
This is a matter of da'wah (calling others to Islam); we do not know, and we cannot rule on a mosque that is currently built and say, "Demolish it." No, that is not appropriate. It is necessary that it be clarified what this forbidden money is and what its source is. Yes. However, before the construction, we advise that mosques not be built except with good money and lawful money. As for a mosque that is currently standing and has been built, this requires investigation into it. Your topic, yes.
