| Question: Appropriation of Masjid Funds | |
| Question on the Permissibility of Using Masjid Funds for Hosting Events:
Is it permissible to use masjid funds—specifically funds donated for Lillah (charity, not designated for a specific project)—to host events, given that such events may involve costs like paying a hadyah (honorarium) for a scholar’s travel and speaker fees, as well as expenses for food provided to attendees? The intention behind hosting these events is to keep them free of charge for the public, so we are exploring whether it is acceptable to use the funds raised through general donations (e.g., during Jumuah prayers or other times) to cover these costs. Would this be in line with the proper use of Lillah donations, or should these funds be restricted to specific charitable purposes? |
