Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In our country, a man’s wife passed away, so he built a mosque for her in the cemetery with the intention of it being charity for her. Some people go to pray in this mosque. What is your advice to everyone?
Answer:
Demolish it. This is not dutifulness, nor is it good. He has no reward, and he has no reward. Because this is a mosque of evil. It must be demolished and removed. If his intention is to benefit her, he should build a mosque between the houses. The need of the Muslims is in the houses, in the neighborhoods. Yes.
