What to do if those building a mosque disagree

Question

In our village, with great difficulty, agreement was reached to build a mosque, and construction has begun. Its roof will be made as a concrete slab. One says, “I will lay the slab,” another says, “I will lay the floor.” These landowners are several, and if we do not take these materials from them, there is a danger of ill repute and the work will stop, on account of which the Muslims are very troubled as to what, after all, should be done. Please advise.

Answer

If peace lies in this, then it is better that these landowners give the money to the person who is managing the construction, and that person build the slab and the floor with this money.
