A Moneylender’s Money for a Mosque

Question

A certain mosque is badly dilapidated. To rebuild it anew, a gentleman whose profession is moneylending on interest wishes to give the mosque five thousand rupees; indeed, he has made a certain person the owner of it so that he may spend it on the mosque. Is it permissible to spend it or not?

Answer

If that money is not from interest, then spending it on the construction of the mosque is correct.
