Answer:
(Fatwa: 823/717=B/1429)
Your question indicates that the abovementioned non-Muslim is an employee of the Waqf Committee who deals with the affairs of the mosque as an employee; he is not trustee of the mosque, the real trustee and administrator of the mosque is the Committee. So there is no problem in it, but the committee should employ any honest Muslim for looking after the Muslim Waqf properties. If you doubt the accounts of the Waqf Committee, you can see its records.
