Musjid

Q: I work in the contaminated land and groundwater sector. A question was posed to me "If the land of the musjid is contaminated, is the land deemed to be "un-holy"?

Q: We have an issue at home, we have a property of Musjid shareef (shops and darsgah) on one side of our house. At that time they put windows and part of roof in our land, now we have construct a house and we completed the ground floor and we are constructing the second floor. At the second floor we have maintained the space of 3 feet as per their roof. But they are saying you have not maintained that gap right from ground floor. So suggest us if we will should give them compensation for the land which comes under our house at ground floor (which they are saying that it belongs to them and we are saying it is ours). Please advise us according to Qur'an and Sunnah.

Q: Can announcing the sighting of the new moon in the masaajid be considered a bidah. For the month of Ramadhaan and for both Eids I would think that it is important. But for the other months of the year is just writing on the musjid board not sufficient. Please comment and if possible give reference to practices during the time of our Beloved Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam).

Q: Does the prophetic way allow for raising of funds for a Madrassah or Masjid by stating that the person raising the most funds will win an all expenses Umrah trip? If not, kindly advise us why this wouldn't be the way of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)?

Q: An imam of a small jamaat khana is often not there for salaah, for many days on end not there for Fajr and sometimes other salaah. Would it be permissible for musallees to complain to the trustees regarding this?

Q: My question is, is there a ruling regarding what distance should a musjid be from a residential area when building a musjid or can it be built at any place regardless if its too close to or far from a residential area?

Q: I am a student and in our village teachers were teaching students in the building which was unsafe and village committee couldn't find any building where students could read and there was an Islamic darasgarh on the village side where no one was reading and the village committee took them to that very darsgah. They have to stay there for 2 to 3 months till their premises will complete and they actually paid rent and is just timely settlement but after 8 days some persons came and told them it is not permissible to teach English education in an Islamic darsgah. It is a sin. Please explain to me is it a sin or not.

Q: The 'Al Baraka Bank' had put up a big poster on the note board of a Jamaat Khana. It was a job advertisement, supposedly aimed at the students attending a nearby university. Furthermore, this 'Al Baraka Bank' had hired out a lecture venue at the university. This is for any students wanting to ask questions about the possible career opportunities at the bank etc. The time they set aside for this was between 12:30 and 13:10. When I saw this poster, I was overcome with extreme anger and disgust. When the Jamaat Khana was completely empty, and no one to see me, I removed this poster, tore it up, and threw it in the bin. I am not a trustee of this Jamaat Khana nor do I have any position of authority. If I were to had initially report this poster to the trustees or the Imaam, they would not see anything wrong in this advertising and would not do anything. (1) Since I was not the owner of this evil poster, nor do I have any authority of the Jamaat Khana, was I permitted in discarding the poster? (2) If I acted incorrectly, please advise as to how I can remedy my action.
