Using Mosque and Madrasa Funds as Loans for One Another

Question

When there is a need, may the mosque’s money be taken as a loan and used for the madrasa, and the madrasa’s money for the mosque, or not?

Answer

If there is confidence that the loan will be recovered and there is no likelihood of its being lost, it is permissible with the consultation of the managing committee. [ar]للمتولي إقراض مال المسجد بأمر القاضي[/ar] “The mutawalli (trustee of the waqf) may lend the mosque’s property by order of the qadi” (Shami, vol. 4, p. 403).
