Please answer, as is this right to do that by Masjid committee. On paper's Masjid is madrasa and Idara Dawat Tabligh as there are problems if we write on paper Masjid by law.

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1769/1244/L=1432) The above mentioned decision of the committee is alright. Ground floor may be declared as Masjid. However Masjid is from the earth to the sky, hence it is not right to use first floor or second floor etc as madrasa. By doing so that mosque shall not be called Shariah mosque.
