Question:
Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. He says: I have a sum of money collected from people of good for the construction of mosques, and a lunar year has passed over it. Is zakah obligatory on it?
Answer:
If this money belongs to the donors, if this money was collected by the donors to build a mosque, then there is no zakah on it, because it is set aside for a good cause, and there is no zakah on money for good deeds.
