RI think @calmguitar means objectively Hindus worship in a particular site (which has history to it, maybe a place where ram ji first prayed to shiv ji, maybe where ram ji were born, where shri krishi was born, for major pujas and havans and if you’re at your home it should be in a specific direction with lots of samagris and probably a fire involved… So on and so forth)
Whereas, in my limited experience I’ve seen people do namaz on any clean spot (be it on terrace, in the train) I’m assuming it’s good to go to a mosque and pray namaz but objectively it can be done anywhere as it involves just your body and a mat.
Now, i honestly never understood waqf board, since you seem knowledgeable, i have some basic doubts:
1) Is it a completely non-governmental body? Does it classify as an NGO?
2) please tell me if my understanding of it’s finances, operations and logic is correct.
It’s a ngo (and just like any other organisation) can claim any land that it thinks belongs to waqf, it claims and whatever 10-15 years roughly that land is disputed and after that time period if they win the case, it belongs to them, if they don’t, the other party gets the stay?
Supposedly, waqf board wins the case and the land belongs to it, the donors of waqf board pay for the operations for keeping the school, hospital, whatever made on it to be free? Or government pays a percentage?
3) Can they use just all the reasons mentioned in the law to lay claim for a particular land, or are their any special provisions under which waqf board can lay claims on a particular land parcel?
