108. Is it not a crime to demolish a mosque?

There are four schools of jurisprudence: Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali and Hanafi. There is a book in Hanbali School where the clerics had given the fatwa that if a mosque has to be demolished for a valid reason, it would be considered justified. If a mosque is demolished in a country by non-state actors, it is a matter of administrative concern which would have to be sorted out by the administration. People must accept whatever the administration of the country decides.
