Raising buildings above mosques
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of fatwa number ( 21653 )
Q 1: If a mosque is built but its height is lower than the height of other multi-story buildings, is this something the Shari'ah forbids or not?
A 1: There is no harm in buildings around the mosque being higher than the level of the mosque, as there is no evidence prohibiting this. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
