Claiming Ownership Of A Parking Spot At A Masjid
Question
Can a trustee of a masjid claim ownership of a parking spot at a masjid?
Answer
If that piece of land that the person has designated only for his parking also falls under the Waqf property of the Masjid and is not his personal property, then he will not be allowed to claim ownership of it.
