Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: In our village, a person built a room on the road and made it a public path, endowing it for Allah. This person, the one who made the endowment, has passed away, and one of the brothers demolished this room. Now, the one who demolished it is asking: Is it obligatory for him to rebuild it as it was, or should he give its value in charity, or what should he do?
Answer:
If it is being benefited from, he must restore it. If it is being benefited from on the road, he erred in demolishing it, so he must restore it as it was. Yes.
