Selling material for the construction of an imambarrah

Selling material for the construction of an imambarrah:

Question: An Imambarrah  is being constructed. A person sold his materials, such as watch, for the preparation of the Imambarrah. Zaid claims that the person who sold his watch for the Imambarrah's construction has committed a major sin. Is Zaid's statement correct or incorrect?

Answer: If someone buys watch for the purpose of constructing an Imambarrah, then selling the watch to them is permissible according to the Imam, as constructing a building is not inherently sinful. Sin is associated with other actions, not the construction itself. However, it is preferable not to assist in this matter.
