Therefore, if a person is offing prayers on a usurped property or a usurped cot, there will be problem in his prayers. Prayers offered at a place, whose profit belongs to some one else is void unless, permission is taken from the person who is entitled to take the profit. For example if a house has been leased out and the owner of the house or anyone else offers prayers in that house without the permission of the tenant, there will be problem in his prayers. And if a person made a will before his death that one-third of his property should be used in a particular manner, prayers cannot be offered in that property if the will has not been executed.
