Ruling on benefiting from an old mosque if the land is owned by its owner and is not an endowment
A man built a mosque on land that he owned, and he and his neighbors began praying in it. Then an official mosque was built. Is it permissible for him to benefit from the land of the mosque, given that it is neither an endowment nor a vow?
If a person sets up a prayer place in his farm where he and those around him pray, but he does not consider it a mosque, rather it is a prayer place where they gather, and then an official mosque is built around it, they join the mosque that was built, and this place remains attached to the farm.
As for if these people made it a mosque in the sense of: If they opened its doors to the people, so that anyone who came would pray, and the five daily prayers are established in it, then he must move the mosque from this place to the new place. It is also to be sold, and its value placed in another mosque, and he does not benefit from it, because if a person endows a mosque, it is not permissible for him to take it back.
