Building a mosque from the value of the deceased mother's land
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: My mother passed away a year ago (may Allah have mercy on her). She had a piece of land granted by the government. We, the heirs, then wanted to build a mosque for her from the value of the land, knowing that she did not bequeath it for that purpose before her death. Is that permissible? And is it permissible to donate to more than one mosque from the value of her land? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The land belongs to the heirs; the land has become the property of the heirs. If they donate it or its value, that is a good thing; the reward will be for her, and it will be an endowment for her. If they donate, or if one of them donates his share, that is a good deed, and Allah will benefit the deceased through it. Yes. As for the one who wants to take his share, that is his right from the inheritance. Yes.
