The Residence of Workers in the Imam's Housing for Personal Benefit

Question
Is it permissible for the mosque imam to house foreign workers in the mosque's accommodation because they work for him?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If the workers are working in the mosque for construction or other purposes, there is no harm in staying overnight there. If it is otherwise, he must adhere to the state's regulations regarding mosques and not deviate from them. And God knows best.
