Building a private house or apartments for rent above the Masjid

Q: We have in our village, in the Arab Republic of Egypt, six Masjids (Mosques) located in different parts of the village. Due to the fact that I own a piece of land that is 700 meters away from the nearest two Masjids, and that there are almost one thousand five hundred Muslims living in the districts around this piece of land, I want to build a house over this land and single out the ground floor to be a Masjid, while the second and the above floors will be my private house or apartments for rent.My question is: Is it permissible for me to build a private house to live in, or for rent, above the Masjid? Given that the Masjid contains many copies of the Mus-haf (copy of the Qur'an) as well as books of Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) and Hadith. A: If this land was not a Waqf (endowment) for the Masjid, and you own it, then there is no impediment to build a house with two floors or more and make the ground floor a Masjid for the Muslims in the neighborhood while the second and above floors will be your private house or offered for rent, because you intended to build the house and the Masjid in that way and for the benefit of the (Part No. 5; Page No. 222
