Inauguration of the Mufid al-Islam Building at the Hands of the Leader of the Bohra Shi‘a

Question

There is a public-welfare institution, under which there is an educational establishment where schooling from primary up to higher secondary level is arranged for Muslim girls with observance of hijab, and two thousand girls are receiving education there; along with this there is religious instruction as well, and this year the school has been made a college; there is an evening madrasa too. The second department deals with unclaimed dead bodies: every day it carries out the shrouding and burial (tajhiz wa takfin)

Answer

Do not intend this on any account. To have the building of Mufid al-Islam (“the Beneficial to Islam”) inaugurated by a mudirr al-Islam (“one harmful to Islam”) is strictly forbidden. May Allah Most High grant you His help.
