Question: Our government distributes money to the Muslims to built Masaajid. Is it allowed to take this money to build Masaajid knowing that it is a disbelieving, polytheist government?
Answer: “Yes. Taking money from Muslims is more deserving. However, if the government gives them some lands to build Masaajid or assists them in that, then there is no harm in that”.
