Assalamu Alaikkum wa rahamatullahi wa barakatuhu,
In the mosque I pray, every friday, after the Khutbah, a person walks through the rows, and collects money for the mosque activities from the people. It is sort of regular activity, every friday. Right now, I pray in a "turkish" mosque. In Europe, there are different mosques - by turkish, I mean most people are turkish in this mosque. We have also morroccan and indonesian mosques. So, this activity happens in the turkish mosque. This practice was also there in my mosque, back home in India.
My question is, since people sort of do it regularly after the khutbah, is this a bid'ah? If, I pay them regularly, will I be part of this bid'ah? Is it permissible for me to pray in such mosque? I am confused because I really can't classify it as a bid'ah from my point of view. However, my point of view doesn't really matter. What is the islamic ruling on this?
Jazakumallahu Khairan for your answers.
