Ruling on building another mosque in place of the previous mosque that is no longer suitable

The questioner : A man builds a new mosque in his house at the edge of his farm, then he builds a mosque there yesterday, and he wants to move the mosque to that location.

The Shaykh : Yes, if this is with the consent of the neighbors.

The questioner : Welcome.

The Shaykh : It belongs to him, his children, and his neighbors.

The questioner : No, no, no, no.

The Shaykh : Meaning, there is no door facing the street. It appears that it depends on his intention. If he built it as a permanent mosque, it must remain. If there is harm in returning to it because the location, for example, has advanced and expanded in another direction, then in this case its value is assessed and a replacement is built on the other side.

The questioner : He built a new reinforced concrete mosque that is larger than the first one.

The Shaykh : But with the intention that it is a replacement for the first one.

The questioner : He classifies this.

The Shaykh : If his intention is that it is a replacement for the first one, it is permissible and it closes the matter of the first one.
