Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 533/450/B=1433) Interest money is haram and malicious. It should be given to very poor and needy person without the intention of reward. It is not lawful to use it in the construction of toilet and latrine of the mosque.

Q. Assalam O Alaikum, This is regarding my previous question (Fatwa ID 13871). My earlier question was whether it is allowed or not to use illegal water and electricity in a Masjid. Illegal means theft of electricity and water. you answered that it is a sinful act. Now my further question is whether it is allowed for us (muqtadis) to offer the prayer in such place of worship where the water and electricity used is illegal. Please reply us soon. We muqtadis are unable to pay bills for water and electricity because here Mutawalli is a very corrupt man. He sells electricity to the tenants from the Masjid. And these tenants use heaters and other appliances very carelessly. 1373 views
