Answer:
Money to build
temple
In the name of Allah,
We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah
guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide
them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah
Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the
seal of His Messengers.
There is absolutely no harm if a
believer gives some funds or helps a disbeliever in his hour of personal need,
but to give a donation to a disbeliever or polytheist to build a temple is
absolutely unacceptable, prohibited, and unlawful in Islam. A person who helps or facilitates a
disbeliever in worshipping their false deities will indeed bear a portion of
the burden of their heinous sin of worshipping a deity other than Allah
Subhanah!
Whatever written of
Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever
of error is of me alone. Allah Alone
Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
