The ruling on using an endowment for purposes other than those for which it was endowed
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
His Eminence the Shaykh: What is the ruling on borrowing some items from the mosques to repair schools or other things, such as a microphone, if there is one?
It is not permissible to use an endowment designated for one purpose for another purpose. Therefore, the microphones, Qur'ans, books, and other items belonging to the mosques are not permissible to be moved to a school or to another mosque, unless the mosque becomes out of use, in which case they may be moved to another mosque, but not to schools.
The questioner: Is it taken for an hour or two?The Shaykh: Not even for a minute or two.
