Question
A telecommunication tower has been put up on the Minaarat of the Robertsham Musjid, the rental paid to the Musjid by the non-Muslim company is then used towards Musjid expenses. Please comment on the permissibility of this action as well as the usage of the income generated from it.
Answer
It is not permissible to install a telecommunication tower on the Musjid's minaret. This tower is utilized for the communication of even the worst types of evil and immorality. It is not permissible to utilize the haraam rental for the Musjid. The installation of the tower is Shaitaan's first step in his long term objective of converting the Musjid into a medium of fisq, fujoor and kufr. For the sake of money, the short-sighted Musjid trustees are trading their Imaan down the sewer gutters of fisq and fujoor.
