Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A man had a motorcycle that was insured. It was stolen, and the insurance company paid him a sum of money for it. What is the ruling on this amount?
The Shaykh : If he had paid the premiums over the years, it is permissible; otherwise, he takes back what he paid, and he spends the remainder on public facilities.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : ...what is in it is not permissible.
The questioner : Why?
The Shaykh : Yes, he said the location is outside the country, okay, okay, what does he want? He said, "We want to pray in the mosque..." The prayer hall is not permissible. Find a permissible prayer hall, and you will return to the mosque. This one that is not permissible is more like a man who loves to show off, and Allah knows best.
