Using government funding to build musjids
Question
Can we use MN Neraga funding or government funding in building up our masjids?
Answer
If the funding is without any interest and it is coming from halaal sources, and the funder whoever it may be may not request anything that is inappropriate and may not exploit then it is permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
