 another group may have acquired what is lawful avoided what is unlawful and spent it on mosques. they are also deceived in two ways one of them is hypocrisy and seeking fame and praise. there may be poor people in their neighborhood or town and spending money on them is more important. there are many mosques and their purpose is the congregation alone so it is sufficient for others. the purpose is not to build a mosque in every alley and every road and the poor and needy are in need.
وفرقة أخرى ربما اكتسبوا الحلال.. واجتنبوا الحرام وأنفقوه على المساجد، وهى أيضا مغرورة من وجهين أحدهما الرياء وطلب السمعة والثناء.. فإنه ربما يكون فى جواره أو بلده فقراء، وصرف المال إليهم أهم.. فإن المساجد كثيرة والغرض منها الجامع وحده فيجزئ عن غيره.. وليس الغرض بناء المسجد فى كل سكة وفى كل درب والمساكين والفقراء محتاجون.
