Question

If I build a Musjid/Musalla with my own funds, do I have to consult the people of the neighbourhood regarding appointment of the Imaam and trustee/s?

Answer

The position of Imaamate of the Musjid/Jamaat khaanah one constructs may be effected unilaterally without consultation with the masses. As long as the person understands that the Imaam should be pious and following the Sunnah, he will be within the ambit of his right as the donor to appoint the Imaam and be the sole trustee of the premises.
