Q&A⚖️ Fiqh & Law

Is it permissible to build a masjid on the land of a derelict cemetery, especially when it is not known whether or not it is held in trust?

Answer

There is no objection to doing so provided that the land of the cemetery is not: [a] an endowment, [b] private property, [c] a facility for the public at large, or [d] a piece of land for holding ceremonies and building the masjid does not entail desecrating the graves or exhuming the bodies of Muslims.
