Prayer: Is It Permissible to Join Congregational Prayer in Properties Seized by Sharʿī Court Orders?

English:

Question #383:

In some governmental companies and institutions, there are some people who do not attend congregational prayers held in them with the excuse that such places were taken over from their owners upon the orders of a shar‘ī court. Please state your honoured opinion in this matter?

Answer #383:

If there is a probability that the judge who issued the confiscation order enjoys legal competence and did so according to shar‘ī and legal criteria, then his act will be considered valid, and therefore, it will be permissible to carry out every kind of activity in that place and the rules of usurpation do not apply to it.
