Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

The call to prayer is made on a high place so that the sound of the call to prayer reaches the ears of every person in the mahalla. For this purpose, the first minarets of Islam were built by Salama on the instructions of Hazrat Mu'awiyah. Although there were no minarets in the early stages of Islam, the call to prayer was still made at such a high place that everyone could hear the sound of the call to prayer. (Abu Dawood Sharif) So if there is no alternative arrangement for the sound to reach the mahalla except the minarets, then the minarets can be built with the income of the mosque. However, it should not be too high for the need and should not be for Riya and Takabbur. And if there is another arrangement to reach the sound, then a separate fundraising will have to be done to build the minarets. The main money of the mosque cannot be spent on it. 1323579233
