The answer

The state is not permitted to seize the property of its citizens except for a public interest that is considered legitimate by , such as building mosques, schools, and roads. Compensation must be fair and immediate, and the expropriation must be for a public interest necessitated by a general need or requirement. The property should not be transferred to private or public investment, nor should expropriation be rushed prematurely.
