Can the trustees of a Masjid accept donations from non-Muslims for the construction or renovation of a Masjid? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A.<\/strong> There are many people in the Muslim community who would appreciate the opportunity of donating towards a Masjid, the House of Allah. The wealth of Muslims, which is pure, and Halaal should be given preference over the wealth of non-Muslims. More so, the Masjid is considered the pride and honour of Muslims and not non-Muslims.<\/p>\n<p>In any event, if non-Muslims wish to donate towards the construction or renovation of a Masjid, their donation can be accepted under the following conditions:<\/p>\n<p>1) They make their donation freely and willingly.<\/p>\n<p>2) They consider their donation to be an act of virtue.<\/p>\n<p>4) They do not expect Muslims to reciprocate them by supporting them or attending their religious programmes and events.<\/p>\n<p>3) There is no fear of them boasting of their donations and making Muslims feel indebted to them. <strong>(Kitaabul Fataawa 4\/209\/Fataawa Uthmaani 2\/537)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Allah Ta\u2019ala Knows Best<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mufti Ismaeel Bassa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>themufti.com<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Non-Muslims donating towards a Masjid Q.
