Summary
The fatwa advises all parties to avoid scrambling for positions in mosque affairs. Serving the mosque is a noble duty that should be carried out with trustworthiness, sincerity and earnest effort to contribute good. Caring for a mosque includes building and maintaining it, providing facilities, congregational prayers and study of beneficial knowledge, and every Muslim should cultivate this awareness.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Dalam urusan masjid sewajarnya semua pihak mengelakkan daripada merebut jawatan tetapi masing-masing yang diberi tanggungjawab menunaikan dengan sepenuh hati dan seikhlasnya.
