The Virtue of Building Mosques
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q2: What is the meaning of the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih Muslim 533b. It was narrated by Muslim . Does this refer to the one who undertakes to build the mosque entirely without anyone sharing in it with him? And does the person who builds only the structure of the mosque fall under this saying? And does the one who contributes to the building of the mosque also fall under this saying?
A2: The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 533b: includes the one who builds the mosque entirely and includes the one who shares in part of it, and each of them gets a reward according to what he contributed, and Allah does not waste the reward of the doers of good.
Q3: Does donating and contributing to the building of the houses of the imam and the mu'adhdhin count as building mosques ; because they are endowments for this mosque?
A3: Donating to build the house of the imam and the mu'adhdhin and other facilities of the mosque falls under building the mosque in terms of reward and virtue; because that is among the interests of the mosque. A fatwa was issued by the Permanent Committee with number (19571) and date 7/4/1418 AH, and its text is: (Donating to build a specific mosque includes building the mosque and its facilities, such as the residence of the imam and the mu'adhdhin, restrooms, and the like of what the mosque requires, such as carpets and the like, because they are attached to the mosque).
He who built a mosque for Allah, Allah would build a house for him like it in Paradise.
