Question
Is it permissible to use the funds of the Musjid for a secular school which the trustees call an 'Islamic' school? They have also ended the afternoon Maktab classes. Please comment.
Answer
It is haraam to use the Musjid's income for the secular school which is dubbed 'Islamic' school. In fact, it is not permissible to use the funds of a Musjid for even a Madrasah or for even another Musjid. These miscreant trustees are guilty of khiyaanat (abuse of trust) and fraud. It was wrong and not permissible to have terminated the afternoon Maktab classes which catered for pure Deeni education.
