Is it permissible to build a mosque in the location of a vegetable garden?

The questioner : Please. Hello, peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

The questioner : We have a government administrative complex, and there is a plot of land with a vegetable garden, may Allah reward you. Is it permissible to build a mosque on it?

The Shaykh : The previous vegetable garden.

The questioner : Yes, it is old.

The Shaykh : There is no blame on him for this.

The questioner : Okay, and if it is still, meaning, standing.

The Shaykh : Yes, it is dug out, but it is covered with a clean, pure roof.

The questioner : It is a raised bed, and there is nothing on it.

The Shaykh : Absolutely not, as long as it is a raised bed and covered, there is no harm.

The questioner : Meaning, there is nothing, if Allah wills, absolutely not. May Allah reward you with good.
