Ruling on distributing gifts on the occasion of a mosque's opening

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, regarding the decision of death, then working on a need for something upon oneself, and it is the calling of the soul, and he said: I adopted knowledge for a problem that one person became and we all became in this mosque, they performed praise and distributed the answer from this soul, and a model of a mechanism from one who stood, and we believed in believers, and so on.

Answer:
I do not see any obstacle to this matter, because this falls under the category of encouraging good. This is not one of the competitions, but rather it is encouragement for a charitable act. As for celebrating the occasion of the mosque's opening, I have nothing that prevents this, because it is a manifestation of good and an incitement to good, encouraging it.
