A Mosque is the People’s House
During the period that Imam was in Najaf, a number of people from Iran took their Khums (Sehme Imam) money to him. It amounted to quite a sum. At that time, they asked the Imam, We want to build a mosque here in the local vicinity. Do you give us permission to spend some of this money to build it? The Imam replied: No I do not give permission. The people pleaded. Imam said, Muslims of each vicinity should build their own mosque because mosques belong to them. I cannot give you this Sehme Imam to build the mosque. Does it make sense that I would pay for the mohrs you use? The mosque is your property. You have to meet its costs.
