Mosque Operation & Management – The Majlis

The trustees of a Musjid near to King Shaka Airport are intending to construct a minaret at a cost of R500,000 to make the Musjid visible to travellers. Does this reason justify the huge expense?

If there is no other hafiz but one who cuts/shaves his beard, should he be allowed to lead the Taraaweeh Salaat?

The Imaam of our Musjid is almost always late for Jamaat Salaat. He comes late and the musallis have to wait for him to complete his Sunnat Salaat. Please comment.

If there are too many people, can the Janaazah Salaat be performed inside the Musjid?

How should the Sunnah ceremony be when opening a new Musjid?

Is it permissible to attend the musjid opening function for a Musjid in Lenasia?

Is it permissible to have two separate Taraaweeh Jamaats in the same Musjid? One jamaat will be on the upper floor and the other on the ground floor?

Some Musjids allow huffaaz who cut their beard to lead the Taraaweeh Salaat. They argue that no other huffaaz are available. Is this permissible?

Molvis argue that it is permissible to allow non-Muslims into the Musjid. They base this on the Hadith which mentions the presence in Musjid-e-Nabawi of non-Muslim delegations during the time of Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam).

A land was made Waqf for a Musjid about 40 years ago. However, the Musjid was not built. The community has acquired another ground on which a Musjid has been built. Will it be permissible to use the first land for a Madrasah or to erect shops for an income for the existing Musjid?
