The ruling on owning the land of the Eid prayer ground and the deceased seeing his relatives

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Following this, a message was received for the program from a listener whose code is the letters Ayn and Alif. He says: I have a piece of land, and there is an Eid prayer ground on this land. This prayer ground has remained, may Allah will it, for many years. Then I sold the location of this prayer ground and utilized it as building land. Is there anything on me for what I did? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
As long as it was used as a prayer ground for Eid and you allowed them to do so, it has exited your ownership and become an endowment (waqf). This is the apparent ruling. However, if you only permitted them to pray there temporarily, allowing them to pray there for a limited time and not making it a permanent prayer ground, then it does not exit your ownership, because you did not make it a waqf. In any case, we should refer this matter to the mufti of the country or the judge of the country to consult them on this. May Allah reward you with good.
