Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner from outside the country says: I have money from riba, so how do I get rid of it? Is it permissible for me to build a mosque with it?
Answer:
No, do not build a mosque with it. Rather, get rid of it by distributing it to those in need, as a means of getting rid of it, not as charity. Yes.
