Re: Investing for masjid expenses
my local mosque does not ask for donations, never did, and they are running fine. how? like you pointed out lansing, having property they collect rent on. also, this particular masjid, whenever they need money, maybe for renovations, it comes from all over the world from other masajids.
I can't stand it when they ask for donations, usually at the end, the people collecting the money get thrown all sorts of accusations. Unfortunately, even the Imam.. Don't know of any such hadiths though.
