    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1776/1489=B/1429)

     

    It is makrooh to give mosque property on rent to a bank. It is better not to use the money for the mosque. A mosque is our sacred place and house of Allah; we should use pure money for the same:

    ان اللہ طیب، لایقبل الا الطیب

    Allah is pure and he likes purity.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
