Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks, Honorable Shaykh, about the ruling on praying in a mosque built on usurped land, the land that was usurped upon which the mosque was established.
Answer:
It is not permissible to seize property by force. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1610d. Therefore, seizing land or any other wealth is not permissible except with the willing consent of the owner of the wealth. [Al-Baqarah 2:188] is false. Sunan ad-Daraqutni 13:78 It must be with his willing consent. It is not permissible to pray in seized land, because this is using the land without the owner's consent. The scholars differed on what happens if one does pray: in any case, this is forbidden, but whether the prayer is valid or not is a matter of disagreement among the scholars.

May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
