Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no harm in borrowing to participate in building a mosque. Contributing to the construction of mosques is one of the greatest acts of worship and best means of drawing near to Allah, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever builds a mosque, seeking thereby the Face of Allah, Allah will build for him its like in Paradise."
