Disposing of riba (usury or interest) money in Qur'an circles and mosque construction

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If I want to get rid of riba money and spend it on Qur'an circles and building mosques, is that appropriate or not?

Answer:
Forbidden money from which a person has repented and wants to get rid of is not to be placed in mosques or in Qur'an memorization programs. Rather, it is to be placed in general projects, such as repairing roads or repairing restrooms, or the like of general public benefits that are not places of worship, are not acts of worship, but are things from which people benefit.
