He endowed a piece of land to build a mosque, then changed his mind
Question: 685
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
If the man has already donated the piece of land for building a mosque, then it should be used for that purpose, and he cannot go back on his donation. But if it is the case that all that has happened is a promise to donate land for a mosque, it is better for him to keep his promise. May Allaah bless our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.
