Performing salaah in a musjid that was built with haraam money
Question
Is it permissible to read salaah in a masjid constructed by the money earned mostly through bribery, bank interest, etc.?
Answer
The namaaz will be valid, but those who used the interest to construct it are sinners.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
