Q: Please let me know the authenticity of this hadith and the book of hadith in which it is mentioned.

The Messenger of Allah, (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam), said: "Whosoever memorises and preserves for my community forty hadith concerning matters of this religion, Allah will resurrect him on the Day of Judgment in the company of jurists and religious scholars."

I have heard many say this hadith is weak.

Also please explain the meaning of this hadith, does it mean:

1. One should memorize it in Arabic or his local language.
2. Does it mean one should memorize it by completely understanding it.
3. Does it mean one should memorize it by actually practising the hadith.

Q: In the next few days Insha-Allah (September 9th 2010) we will be having the Khatmul Quran for the Taraweeh prayers. A few members of the administration have suggested that sweets (mithia/halwa) be distributed on this occasion while other members have objected saying that the masjid funds cannot be used for such purposes. It should be noted that the masjid has 3 different accounts. 1 is the project account which is used for the construction of the masjid. 2nd is the Zakat account and 3rd is a general account that is used for the masjid maintance/upkeep and to pay for the ongoing expenses (utilities etc.) of the masjid. The members who would like to distribute sweets are of the opinion that this is an expense for the masjid therefore there should be no reservations regarding the matter.

We will be highly grateful if the Ulema can clarify for us the matter in the light of the Islamic Laws of Waqf if it is allowed to use the masjid funds  for such purposes.
