What is the ruling on building a residence for the mu'adhdhin and the imam above the mosque?

Question : He says: What is the ruling on building above the mosque, such as building a house for the imam or the mu'adhdhin?

Answer : Yes, if this is at the time of construction, meaning that whoever wants to build a mosque places the mosque on the lower level and the residence of the imam and the mu'adhdhin above it, then there is nothing wrong with that. However, if the mosque is already standing and someone wants to build a residence for the imam and the mu'adhdhin above the mosque, then that is forbidden (haram). This is because once a mosque is built, it becomes a mosque. The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) said that the air space is attached to the ground. For example, if we assume the mosque is twenty meters by fifteen meters, the mosque owns that amount of land up to where? Up to the sky. Who is the limit for building in it?
So the answer now is: if this is at the time of construction and the builder of the mosque wants to make the lower part of the building a mosque and the upper part a residence for the imam and the mu'adhdhin, then there is nothing wrong with that. Be patient, my brother. And if the mosque was standing from the beginning and someone wants to build a residence for the imam and the mu'adhdhin above it, then that is not permissible. But here is a question: is it better to place the residence of the imam and the mu'adhdhin at the time of construction on the lower level or the upper level? I think you will disagree. If it is above, what is above, the residence or the mosque? If the residence is above, perhaps there will be noise from the resident. Or water might leak. Especially from the bathrooms that are not properly sealed in the construction above the mosque, so they contaminate it.
In that case, building above the mosque is a harm. And if it is on the lower level, meaning the residences are on the lower level, then there is difficulty for some of the worshippers in going up to the mosque. So the reality is that the benefits and harms of the building being higher or lower require study and consideration, as they say, consideration of the actual conditions. Yes.
