Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a mosque needs supplies, furnishings, and the like, is it permissible for us to buy them for it from zakat al-mal?
Answer:
No, zakat al-mal is for the eight categories. It is distributed to the eight categories. It is not to be spent on anything else, such as mosque furnishings or building mosques. These are funded from donations. In our country, and praise be to Allah, the Ministry of Islamic Affairs furnishes the mosques and fulfills its duty. Yes.
