What is the ruling on the action of a director of a government agency who distributes money to individuals for building homes and mosques, and what is the ruling on those who take this money from him?
If a man spends from his private wealth, there is no harm in that, and he will be rewarded for it if his intention is sound. If he spends from state funds, then the state's silence indicates that he is authorized to do so. Therefore, there is no harm for the poor person in seeking assistance from him for medical treatment or marriage, nor in seeking his contribution to the construction of mosques.
