All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

This committee taking money from the people illegally is an evil act and it must guarantee the money.

As regards building the mosque with ill-gotten money, then we have already issued Fataawa 85934, 85198, 85191 and 82838 clarifying its ruling.

Allaah Knows best.
