Selling A Mosque ?

Can A Mosque Building Be Sold So That The Money Obtained Is Used To Build Another Mosque?

This is not permissible at all according to any school from the four recognised traditional schools of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaah.

Imam Abu Hanifah, Imam Shafi'i and Imam Malik are firmly unanimous on the point that once a property is converted into a Masjid it cannot be sold in any case.

However, it is only Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal who has opined that such situations is permissible in an extreme situation where the Masjid is no longer useable for the purpose of a Masjid.

The only fact, that a location of the Masjid is not the most suited one, does not justify its sale even according to Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal.
