Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a group of women collected money to build a mosque, and two years have passed; is zakah obligatory on it?
Answer:
No, there is no zakah on it, because this is charity and a donation for the mosque, not for investment, so you do not find [profit] in it. This is like the funds of endowments (waqf); there is no zakah on endowment funds because they are spent on the channels of zakah. Yes.
