Question
The Imam of the masjid collects money by saying donate for the sake of love to the prophet and khulafaye rashedeen so that your resurrection will be with them. Is this kind of advertising permissible?
Answer
How can advertising stunts ever be permissible in the Musjid? The sacred Names of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and the Khulafa-e-Raashideen are mis-manipulated for monetary objectives. The sacred platform of the Musjid may not be used and abused for colleting funds, advertising fundraising schemes and for trapping and pressurizing people to contribute. All such methods are haraam and the funds extracted by means of entrapment and application of pressure are also haraam.
