Question
A land was made Waqf for a Musjid about 40 years ago. However, the Musjid was not built. The community has acquired another ground on which a Musjid has been built. Will it be permissible to use the first land for a Madrasah or to erect shops for an income for the existing Musjid?
Answer
If the ground had already been declared Waqf for a Musjid, then it has to be used for only a Musjid. A small Musjid should be constructed on the land. The land may not be used for any other purpose whatsoever.
