Is it permissible to demolish a Masjid?

Muhtharam Mufthi Sahib, Assalamu Alaikum If a person or an organization wishes to utilize a place of a Masjid for personal use (after the demolition of the Masjid), can they (the person or the organization) do so?

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
If a place been officially officially declared as Waqf and a Masjid has been built thereupon, then that place will be recognized as a Masjid until the Day of Judgement. Demolishing the Masjid for one's personal use is undoubtedly unlawful in the Shari'ah, and would invite the wrath and punishment of Allah, the Almighty. Therefore, it is mandatory upon the influential personnel of that area to take preventative actions against the demolition of the discussed Masjid , even if it means getting the law involved.

And Allah knows best
Darulifta Jamia Binoria Aalamia
