The debt is being paid off, and they are still requesting funds to continue building the masjid.","answer":"Certainly, it is allowed. I can't identify any specific reasons for it to be forbidden. Without access to the specifics of the land purchase agreement or whether the buyer(s) possess full ownership, I can't offer an opinion on whether it qualifies as a masjid at this point. However, the fundamental principle remains that praying in any location is allowed as long as your presence there does not constitute trespassing. Additionally, if you were to pray in an area while trespassing, your salat is valid but you are committing a sin.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe10b76658b4c2327d3","tag":"Worship: Masjids, Mosques, and Musallahs","count":50},{"_id":"668da0130b76658b4c232d6d","tag":"Contemporary Life: Debt","count":16}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:40:37.614Z"}
