He asks: What is the ruling on praying in mosques that are located beneath buildings?

There is nothing wrong with that if the buildings were originally constructed on this basis, with a mosque built at the bottom and residences above it. However, if we take an existing mosque and build residences on top of it, that is not permissible. Building residences above a mosque is not permissible. Yes.
