Is it permissible for me to purchase an apartment in a residential area, the land for which was seized by the state from its owner by force, after the original owner gave me permission to do so and I became aware of the impossibility of returning the buildings to him?

If the owner of the land grants permission to buy it, there is no objection. Otherwise, it is not permissible. The state's usurpation of land for others does not make it permissible to take it.
