Is it permissible to pay zakah for the construction of mosques, particularly in this country?

The Shaykh : Here is a question that asks: Is it possible to pay zakah for the construction of mosques, particularly in this country?
I say: No; because Allah, Mighty and Majestic, explicitly stated in the Noble Qur'an: , then He said: . His saying, the Exalted: does not mean the broader sense that some Islamic writers adopt; for the expansion in understanding this phrase of the verse destroys the eloquence that this verse contained with the tool of restriction, in terms of His saying: . In principle, regarding the explicit specification of the expenditures of zakah, if the cause of Allah included these types that He explicitly mentioned in the verse and others that were not mentioned, which are far more numerous, then the indication of the Qur'an and its known eloquence would be lost. This is one thing.
And another thing: there is nothing in the Sunnah, which you know takes on the explanation of the Noble Qur'an, that helps us to expand the circle of understanding for this phrase: , except in one issue, in addition to the apparent meaning when this phrase is used generally: , which is jihad, of course. It was found in the Sunnah that something other than jihad can be included under this name, , namely spending money for some of the poor to perform Hajj to the House of Allah, the Sacred. The text came regarding this, and it is what Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad and Abu Dawud in his Sunan, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he performed the Farewell Pilgrimage, a woman known as Umm Talq came complaining about her husband, Abu Talq, to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after his return from Hajj. She said: O Messenger of Allah, Abu Talq performed Hajj on his camel so-and-so, and I asked him to let me perform Hajj with him on his other camel so-and-so, but he refused me. So the Messenger (peace be upon him) sent for Abu Talq and said to him: . He said: O Messenger of Allah, my camel so-and-so—meaning the one the woman pointed to and had asked me to let her ride for Hajj—is in the cause of Allah; as if he was saying: it is reserved for fighting in the cause of Allah. So he said, peace and blessings be upon him—and here is the point: . So Imam Ahmad took from this hadith that paying zakah to enable those who cannot afford Hajj to perform it is part of the cause of Allah. So we have nothing that helps us to expand the meaning of this phrase to more than it includes, in addition to jihad, Hajj to the House of Allah, the Sacred.
