Using donations from non-Muslims for masjids and madrasahs
Question
Is it permissible to receive funding as a donation from non-Muslims as asked for by a masjid and madrassah? Where should it be utilised?
Answer
As far as possible don't accept donations from non-Muslims. Can you explain the reason why the non-Muslims wish to contribute to an Islamic deeni project.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
