Question
The trustees of the Musjid contemplate building an astro turf on the Waqf land of the Musjid. They say that it will keep the youth occupied and attract them to the Musjid. They also say that it will bring about unity. Is this a valid argument for constructing playing fields on the Musjid's ground?
Answer
It is never permissible to build the haraam astro turf or erect a sports field on the Musjid's Waqf property. In fact it is haraam to construct such a haraam venture even on non-waqf land.
Those who have come up with this satanic idea are influenced by shaitaan. Unity cannot be based on a haraam premise. It is a double haraam to occupy youth with haraam activities. The youth should be given ta'leem of the Deen, not enticed with haraam. Shaitaan has indeed cast his spell on the brains of the people who desire to construct the haraam venture.
