Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : Hello.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : How are you, O Shaykh? I hope you are well, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner : How is your health and how are the news?
The Shaykh : Good, how are you?
The questioner : Praise be to Allah, Ra'ad... he is speaking with you from al-Majr. How are you, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner: Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
The Shaykh : You are welcome.
The questioner : O my Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : I have an important question I asked you about last time, and now there is something new.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : It is that we have secured usurious funds, and the amount is very large, meaning we can buy a complete Islamic center with it?
The Shaykh : It is not permissible, it is not permissible, it is not permissible.
The questioner : It is not permissible to buy an Islamic center.
The Shaykh : Never with usurious money, because.
The questioner : I did not hear you.
The Shaykh : It is not permissible.
The questioner : To say.
The Shaykh : To deny.
The questioner : To deny, yes, yes. Because when I asked you last time, you told us that we want to put it in public facilities.
The Shaykh : This is not among the public facilities. Public facilities are paving a road, clearing a path, building a bridge, and the like. As for building a mosque or an Islamic center with forbidden funds, that is far from it, far from it.
