Masjid (mosque) ownership

Updated: Apr 13, 2022

There are two options of ownership of a masjid

  1. NAIT: a non-for-profit trust that holds title for many masjids as waqf

  2. Owned by the organization

  • better suited for masjids with stable structure

  • better suited with a BOD/BOT combination structure

Keep in mind the following important matters

  • Property rent, buy, sell, improvement should require two third of the votes of the board and not only simple majority

  • Individual ownership: never allow individual ownership of the masjid, its land or any of its facilities

  • Rental contracts

  • Never rent a masjid facility to an individual for a long term lease or below fair market value. This often results in very costly correction

  • Never rent a masjid facility to its school or another related subsidiary for long term lease or below fair market value. This often result in subsidiary being in control of the masjid or out of control of the masjid which are inappropriate for the masjid and the community
