Ruling on selling the surplus furniture of the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! Is it permissible to sell the surplus furniture from the mosque and buy other furniture, such as speakers and the like?
The authority regarding the furniture of the mosque, its speakers, the amplifier, and similar items lies with the department responsible for mosques.
However, if the mosque is private, belonging to a person who manages and oversees it, there is no blame on him for selling what exceeds his needs and using the proceeds for another benefit of the mosque.
As for the mosques under the care of the Islamic Affairs Department, a person has no right to dispose of anything in them. Even if we assume that one mosque has a thousand Qur'ans and another has only ten and needs a hundred, it is not possible to transfer from the first mosque to the second without the permission of the responsible officials. Private mosques, however, are a different matter.
