Is it necessary that the Muslim community owns the land which will be used for an Eidgah?

Answer

It is not incumbent for the Muslim community to own land for it to be used as an Eidgah. Nor is it necessary for the land to be Waqf.. A valid Eidgah is any vacant land at the end of the built-up area. It could be privately-owned or land belonging to no one. If it is privately-owned, the permission of the owner is necessary.
