Question
There is a masjid to be built and there are Christians around it. Are Muslims allowed to accept their donations to the masjid?.
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah:
If there is a condition that goes against sharee’ah, then no. But if they are straightforward donations with no conditions attached, then there is nothing wrong with that; the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) often accepted gifts from the mushrikeen. End quote.
