The Shaykh : But how can a portion be cut off from the land of the mosque? In the first place, it is not permissible to cut off from the land of the mosque what would be a shop or something similar. However, perhaps it was built before the mosque. If it is a new shop, and before we built the mosque we took this portion of the land to be a shop, then there is nothing wrong with it. It does not fall within the mosque.
