Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In one of the countries outside this country, a group of Muslims are building a mosque. A Hindu man came forward and donated the loudspeakers and speakers for this mosque. The question is: Is this donation accepted from him?
Answer:
There is no harm in it. As long as the money is lawful, it is permissible to accept it, even from a disbeliever, to be used in the mosque, because it is lawful money, and he was pleased to give it.
