If two or more people participate in building a mosque, is the reward for building a mosque recorded for each of them?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If two, three, or more people participate in building a mosque, is the reward for building a mosque recorded for each of them, or is it less than that?
The Shaykh : Have you read [the verse] "When the earth is shaken"? What did Allah say at the end of it?
The questioner :[Az-Zalzalah 99:7]
The Shaykh :[Az-Zalzalah 99:7-8] Each person has the reward for what he did, but he also has a second reward from another aspect, which is cooperation in righteousness. Cooperation in righteousness, because if these people had not gathered, and each one had only brought a little, the building would not have been completed. So we say he has the reward for his work, and he has the reward for assistance and cooperation. Did you understand? An example of this is a man who spent one hundred riyals in charity. He has the reward for spending one hundred riyals in building a mosque. This expenditure has benefit from two aspects: First: the work, meaning the reward for this money. Second: the assistance so that the mosque is established. Did you understand? Or is it not possible for us to say that this man donated twenty thousand to the mosque and this one donated twenty riyals? It is not possible to say they are equal, that each has the full reward of the building. That is not possible. Is the speech clear or not? Answer, man! How is your question? May Allah will it, it breaks the wall with the sound of your voice, and your answer, oh Allah, is heard. What do you think? Look, my brother, the reward is according to the work. We say this one has the reward for his work according to what he spent, and he has the reward for cooperation in establishing this mosque. Yes, then the next one.
