Ruling on building a residence on the roof of the mosque

The Shaykh : It is permissible for it to be like that, but this requires a review. So either you wait for me for a moment, or you call me back.

The presenter : So, I mean, if you want.

The Shaykh : Do you have patience?

The presenter : I have patience.

The Shaykh : Yes, wait, what is the wording of the hadith in Sahih?

The presenter : If a drop of vinegar, just a drop.

The Shaykh : We put a mark on the hadith. Oh Allah. This is omitted from Sahih.

The presenter : Yes, I mean, is it weak? Okay, may Allah reward you

The questioner : with good. Peace be upon you. And Allah’s safety. Yes. Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace and Allah’s mercy and blessings. How is Shaykh Nasser doing? Praise be to Allah, he is well. There is a question, if Allah wills. Please go ahead. We have a mosque with a residence built on its roof for the imam. Is that permissible?

The Shaykh: If the toilet is built to the side of the mosque, it is permissible,

The questioner : I mean, if the toilet is isolated from the roof of the mosque, it is permissible. May Allah reward you with good. Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh: And upon you be peace and mercy
