Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man endowed a piece of land for a mosque to be built on it, and he registered it with the Waqf Authority. Then a mosque was built next to his land. His question is: Do I have the right to retract this endowment?
Answer:
No. This is a matter for the Ministry of Islamic Affairs and Endowments, because mosques fall under their jurisdiction. Since it has become an endowment, it is under their jurisdiction. They will build it in another location.
