Question
Some trustees who are in charge of the Nurul Islam Musjid in Lenasia are receiving a dividend from the huge income of the Musjid‟s waqf properties. Is this dividend permissible for them? They call it profit. The question is regarding the committee of Nurul Islam Masjid and organization. They have a block of flats and quite a large center of shops in Lenasia. They acquire rentals from it. The committee members have been accused of collecting shares of the profit. The one Ravat Moulana has called the cops on them as he says it is haraam. This is what I have heard thus far. I just wish to know if it will be jaaiz for shareholders of an organization like Nurul Islam to collect dividends of the profits earned? This masjid is basically run by juhalaa and idiots of the first order. The 'moulanas' here make worst of their jahaalat by which they run the place. It is terrible to witness and worst so to be a part of. I feel like threatening them with a large mob and take over the entire organization but where do I find similar attitudes?
Answer
Most certainly, the socalled „profit‟ they are stealing from the income of the Waqf property is haraam. The louts in charge of the Musjid are all signs of Qiyaamah. They are in fulfilment of the prediction of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) who said that among the signs of Qiyaamah will be the appointment of juhala and scoundrels to posts of Amaanat. It is the duty of the musallis of the Musjid to drive out these scoundrels who are plundering the resources and the sanctity of the Musjid.
Talaaq cuts off his nose to spite his face. Even the estranged wife will inherit in her husband‟s estate even if the separation without Talaaq endures a lifetime. The nikah remains valid.
