Question

My grandson intends to make a waqf for one of his places for the mosque and he also said, 'Suppose I have given this place to the mosque.' But later construction work of another mosque has started next to that place. Therefore, there is no need to build a mosque in this place. So he has decided to sell this place and build a mosque in a country where there is no mosque. My question is, can a mosque be built by selling the present land and buying land in the country? 2276967777


Answer

According to the description of the question, since your grandson did not waqf the land orally or in writing, the land did not become waqf just because of intention or because he said, 'Take it, I have given this place for the mosque'. Therefore you can sell the land and build a mosque elsewhere where it is needed. 9693798464
