Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: How is it reconciled between the permissibility of spending endowment funds on shrines and tombs, and the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih Muslim 1015?
Answer:
It becomes pure. The original funds are pure, my brother. The original funds are pure, but they were placed in a corrupt channel, so they are returned to the pure channels. And because money that has no owner is spent on the interests of the Muslims. This money has no owner because its channel is not valid, so it remains without an owner, like lost money, and is spent on the interests of the Muslims. Yes.
