I have a question about Musjid Dhiraar. I have read that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) had demolished such an evil musjid.

Answer

Technically, a Musjid in this age cannot be described as Musjid Dhiraar. Since the intention of the builders of the Musjid is not known, we cannot say that a Musjid is Musjid Dhiraar. Just as there are many Munaafiqeen today, but whom we may not brand as munaafiq because only Allah Ta'ala is aware of the intention, so too does the Shariah apply to Musjids. If a Musjid has been constructed to divide/harm Muslims, those concerned will be punished by Allah Ta'ala. However, since we cannot look into their hearts, the Shariah does not allow us to pass a fatwa that a particular Musjid is Musjid Dhiraar. We do not agree with the view of Qurtubi (rahmatullah alayh). This is the stance of the Hanafi Math-hab. Salaat is valid in all Musaajid.
