The ruling on praying in a temporary mosque on government land

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. The Honorable Shaykh says: We established a temporary mosque on land designated for parking,

The Shaykh:
Praise be to Allah.

The questioner:
We established a temporary mosque on land designated for parking, which belongs to the municipality, and no one has objected to our doing this, even though the mosque is temporary. The question is: Is it permissible to pray in this mosque or not?

The Shaykh:
And there is none in this. It is permissible because it is not intended [as a permanent mosque]; rather, it is among the government's interests. It is permissible to pray in it, but its status as a mosque and its status as an endowment are not established except by the permission of the one in authority. It does not become an endowment except by the permission of the one in authority. As for praying in it without it being an endowment, no. And if it is exposed as a mosque, then no.
