Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is building and maintaining the restrooms attached to mosques like the reward of building the mosques?
Answer:
Yes, the facilities of the mosque are like the mosque itself in terms of building and reward. A fatwa has been issued by the Permanent Committee regarding this, because some people refused to work on the facilities, saying, "We will build the mosque, but we will not build the facilities." So a fatwa was issued stating that anything that is in the interest of the mosque carries the reward of the mosque. Yes.
