Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The last question: an annex next to the mosque, belonging to the mosque, where Islamic tapes are sold, and the income goes to the mosque and its services. Is this permissible?
The Shaykh : What do you mean by the income going to the mosque's services?The questioner : It is an annex next to the mosque, but the mosque's services include electricity and similar things, as well as cleaning.
The Shaykh : So the rent for the shop goes to the mosque?The questioner : The electricity bill for the mosque. The mosque is private, not under the endowments. This is adjacent to the mosque. The annex is rented out, and its income goes to the mosque's services.
The Shaykh : Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. There is no obstacle, as long as the recordings are permissible. There is nothing wrong with them.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
