    Mosque is a holy and sacred place; it should be constructed with halal and pure money. We are prohibited to use haram money in building a mosque. It is mentioned in Hadith that Allah is pure and He likes purity. Therefore, constructing mosque with gambling money is not allowed as per the Shariah:

    عن أبي ھریرۃ قال: قال رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم: من تصدق بعدل تمرۃ من کسب طیب ولا یقبل اللہ إلا الطیب (مشكاة 167, باب فضل الصدقۃ)

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
