What is the ruling of Islamic law regarding the continued existence of the Board of Trustees that manages the affairs of the prayer hall, controls the process of electing committee members, and deposits funds designated for the construction of the new mosque into an interest-bearing bank account, relying in this regard on an Azhar fatwa permitting the taking of interest from American banks?

It is advisable to invest mosque funds in permissible trade to increase capital and profits, which can then be used for the mosque's upkeep and development. Those in charge of the project must be righteous and trustworthy individuals. If they cannot participate in elections or voting, they can approve what causes no harm. However, if some candidates are unfit for management, others should declare their disapproval and state the reasons, to ensure that those in charge of charitable projects are trustworthy and reliable. The burden of any usury they took rests upon them, and others are absolved of it.
