What is the ruling on using prizes given by the government?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
I am a government employee. Last week I got annual prize in terms of money and certificate. Is it halal to use? And I have donated this money to masjid. Is it ok?

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

(Fatwa: 964/773/B=8/1439)

It is alright to take the prize and use it. It is also alright to donate it to the mosque and it is a cause of reward as well.

Allah knows Best!
