Building a mosque with the money of a disbeliever or with forbidden money

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to build a mosque on it?

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. As for if it was built with pure money, one does not pray in it only if the builder had an intention, such as calling to disbelief or the like.
