Magnetic fields are generated by electric current, hence magnetic forces would be an electrical property, not a mass property. Gravity is the force that exists between two masses.

However, materials have magnetic properties based upon their chemical composition, for example iron metal maybe magnetised, that is a property of that material (note material, not mass).

A piece of iron may be magnetised regardless of its mass (1kg or 1g or 1 tonne), as magnetism is not mass related.

However, I believe what you are trying to ask is whether magnetism is a property of the material, not the mass, in which case, yes, it is a property of the material, based upon its chemical composition.

Why mass is an example of extrinsic property?

Mass is an example of an extrinsic property, because an extrinsic property is one that varies with and depends on the size and amount of the sample. Obviously, the more of the sample you have, the greater will be the mass. Thus, mass is an extrinsic property. Compare this to density. It doesn't matter how much of the sample you have, the density will be the same. Density is an intrinsic property.

Is a property of matter in which there is a force of attraction or repulsion between unlike or like poles?

The property you are referring to is magnetism, where there is a force of attraction or repulsion between unlike or like poles of magnets. Magnetism is caused by the alignment of the magnetic domains in the material.
