Building a house for the imam of the mosque is not like building the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is building a house for the imam or the mu'adhdhin considered part of the maintenance of the mosque?
No, but there is no doubt that there is good in it and it is a form of assistance, but it is not considered like building the mosque, because there is a great difference between the two. How many people have come to the mosque as an imam or a mu'adhdhin without a house, and how many people have left that position despite having a house. However, it is true that having a house for the imam and the mu'adhdhin helps him to perform the obligation, because he will be nearby, making it easy for him to go to the mosque and pray, or to go to the mosque and call the adhan.
And all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment.
