Q1: A person gave me a sum of money and asked that it be spent on the needs and supplies of the mosque. Is zakat obligatory on it if a lunar year passes while it is designated for the mosque, or not?
A1: There is no zakat due on the sum designated for the needs of the mosque, because it is in the path of righteousness.
