Is It Permissible To Build A Temple In A Muslim State?
“Believers! Do not violate the shaair of God, or the sacred months, or the animals of hadī or [specifically those among them] who are marked with collars of vow or those people who have set out for the House to seek God’s grace and pleasure. Once you take off your ihram you are free to hunt. Some people had stopped you from coming to the Sacred House. Your animosity against them should not incite you so much that you cross the limits of the Almighty. [No, abide by these limits come what may] and help one another in what is virtuous and pious and not in what is sinful and oppressive . And have fear of God because God is stern in retribution.” (5:2) So you’re telling me that first God is talking about not to perform the same kind of oppression / persecution on your enemies, despite the fact they did it and later negating it by saying don’t let them pray or kick them out or to not let them build temples etc etc. because it is impious? In all honesty, this verse is saying the opposite.
The money for building the temple has to be collected by the Hindus themselves. Many of the mosques made in the western world have been made by the donations of the Muslims residing in these countries.
So, we conclude that though as a person, you are well within your individual rights to refuse donating money to temples, but it is not prohibited in Islam to donate money to temples.. As Allah has prohibited making something prohibited which he himself has not, does it mean the act of calling donation to temple as haraam, is actually haraam ?
