The ruling on building mosques from zakah money

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to build mosques from zakah money?

Answer:
No. Mosques are not to be built from zakah. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) specified eight categories for the distribution of zakah, and building mosques is not among them. Yes.
