from non-Sunnis, Ahmadis/Qadianis, Christians or other non-Muslims?

of liquour/marijuana, proceeds of gambling?  What should be done wi
th donations already received from unacceptable sources?
Please provide all proofs( hawalajaats) and details in English and arabic.

الجواب وبالله التوفيق

Ahmadis and Qadianis are not considered as Sunni, in fact the ulamah kiram are unanimously in agreement of their kufr. It is impermissible to accept donations from them.

Similarly, if someone’s source of income is haram, then accepting donations from them for mosques is incorrect.

واللہ اعلم  بالصواب
