Is building houses for the mu'adhdhin or the imam next to the mosque considered part of the reward for building the mosque?

Question:
Is the one who builds houses for the mu'adhdhin or the imam next to the mosque considered to be included in the reward for building the mosque?

Answer:
Yes, this was issued in a fatwa from the Permanent Committee during the lifetime of Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him), and it was signed, stating that the houses of the mosque have the ruling of the mosque in terms of reward and virtue. Yes, because today it is not possible to secure an imam and a mu'adhdhin for the mosque except with houses. So this has become a necessity, and thus in virtue they are attached to the mosque, so their reward is like the reward of the mosque. Yes.
