Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, if a house is donated to the mu'adhdhin and the imam, does this fall under that reward?
The Shaykh : No, I mean that building houses for the imam and the mu'adhdhin is not like building mosques.
The questioner : Does it have a reward, meaning?
The Shaykh : If Allah wills, there is a reward in it, without doubt, as it is assistance for good. For this reason, if you are given dirhams for building a mosque, it is not permissible to spend any of it on the house of the imam and the mu'adhdhin.
