Q: I have a few questions regarding masjid. 

1. What are the requirements for a building to be called a masjid (and subsequently all the rules of a masjid must be followed)? 

2. Do the rules of a masjid apply to a musallah? 

3. Can there be a masjid in a non-Muslim country? 

3a. I have heard that in Canada a building is not owned permanently by a person and the government can take control of it (either any time or a lease of 99 years apply), so can there be a masjid in the aforementioned case? 

4. If one has taken upon an item of the masjid for safekeeping, can they personally use it? It was bought by the masjid money.

Q: 

1. My mum is deceased 3 years. In her inheritance, she has left behind a business. I want to sell my share of the business. The executors say that I have to sell it in the family and not to any outsider as its a family business partnership and part of the estate. Is this condition valid? 

2. Do they have the right to stipulate the price or can I sell it at a suitable price? 

3. As far as distributing the estate, how long does one have to wait, as the executors say that they have received monies from the deceased investment but are still investigating details.?

4. Is there any punishment or effect on the deceased if there is delay in winding up the estate? 

5. Is the inheritor being difficult or disrespectful in requesting their share of inheritance?

Q: Is it permissible for non-baaligh children to give sadaqah from their own spending or to buy gifts for others with their own money? 

Also, will non-baaligh siblings be able to share with each other something that was given to them individually?

Q: When a person became baaligh, he was not allowed to fast by his mother due to him being asthmatic. His mother would take out fidyah for him each year instead of him fasting. This carried on for ten years until he got married. After marriage, his wife told him to try fasting, and he managed and has been fasting ever since. Now he has reached old age, and he will not be physically able to fast the ten years fast that he missed. 

1. Will the fidyah given by his mother while he was young be sufficient as compensation for the missed fasts? 

2. If not, what can he do now to compensate for the fasts missed?

Q: Is it permissible for two or more people to pay for one sheep or 1 share of a cow for nafl Qurbani after having done a separate waajib Qurbani? Does the ruling differ between sheep and cattle?

I found this Hadith mentioned in Fazaail-e-Hajj of Hazrat Shaikul Hadith Moulana Muhammad Zakariyya (rahimahullah). Some people have mentioned to me that this Hadith is a fabrication.
