Question

Dear Mufti Saheb, Is it true, that by constructing the home on triangular piece of land one will become insolvent? I have a triangular piece of land (first side is 101 feet, second side is 57 feet and the third is 114 feets) and, this year I am planning to construct my home on it, inshallah. One of my friend who is non-muslim (Hindu) told me that ?by constructing home on triangular piece of land one will become insolvent? by hearing this I spoken to one of my muslim friend. My muslim friend also confirmed what my non-muslim friend told me. Can you please give your views in the light of Quran and Hadith, please?Jazak Allah Khair.

Answer

It is permissible to construct your house on a triangular piece of land. There is no Shar'ee basis of one becoming insolvent by building on a triangular piece of land.
