Question
Please advise if padel tennis can be built on waqf land across the current masjid land? We heard this is in process and they will be having ladies to come in certain time slots and separate men's time slots. Assuming that revenue will be generated and paid to the masjid for rental, will it be permissible?
Answer
Padel tennis and all kinds of sport are haraam according to the explicit prohibition stated by Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam). Constructing any sports facility on even private property is haraam. The prohibition is aggravated if the haraam facility is constructed on Waqf property and Musjid property. Women participating adds manifold to the fisq and fujoor. The money earned from haraam is also haraam. It is not permissible to use haraam money even for cleaning the toilets of the Musjid.
