What is the ruling on the villagers' refusal to pray in a mosque built by a alcohol merchant, claiming that his money is ill-gotten?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Prayer in a mosque built with ill-gotten money is valid, because ill-gotten money must be disposed of by spending it on general Muslim interests, such as building mosques. It is incumbent upon the people of the village to maintain the mosque through prayer and religious lessons.
