Praying in a Mosque Constructed from Illegal Resources

DS
Dr. Shehzad Saleem
November 2002 · 1 min read

There is a mosque in our village which is known to have received a large donation from a drug dealer. Everyone in the locality knows it was built on money donated by him. Is it permissible to pray in such a mosque?

There is no harm in praying in such a mosque. Illegal money may deprive the person who donated the money of any reward. It cannot deprive those who pray in it.
