Transferring Qur'ans from one mosque to another
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: In our village there is a mosque, and it has a cabinet containing many Qur'ans. The benefit of reading from these Qur'ans has ceased. Is it permissible for me to transfer these Qur'ans to another mosque so that I can benefit from them?
Answer:
No, my brother, this falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, which oversees the mosques. You do not take anything from it, nor do you transfer anything from it, because they are an endowment (waqf) for this mosque. It is the Ministry or the branch of the Ministry that acts on behalf of the Ministry in this matter.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
