“We need to know about clear development planning. (Examples include the exact amount of funds needed. If someone intends to build a mosque, he must definitely consult with the construction contractor regarding the budget for building the mosque). How much did he raise? Why does he need unlimited funds to build a mosque? Donors must know how much budget is needed to build a mosque. “Apart from that, you also need to know how he will handle the remaining proceeds from the donation,” said a statement from Muslims in South Korea.
