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

The Shaykh : Here is a question asking whether it is possible to pay zakah for the construction of mosques, especially in this country?
We say no, because Allah, Mighty and Majestic, explicitly stated in the Noble Qur'an: Then He said: The saying of the Exalted: does not mean the broader sense that some Islamic writers adopt, because expanding the understanding of this phrase in the verse destroys the eloquence contained in this verse through the tool of restriction, as indicated by His saying: In principle, by specifying the individual channels of zakah, if "in the cause of Allah" included these types explicitly mentioned in the verse and others not explicitly 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 is that there is nothing in the Sunnah, which you know is responsible for explaining the Noble Qur'an, that helps us expand the scope of understanding for this phrase except in one issue, in addition to the apparent meaning when this phrase "in the cause of Allah" is used... The Sunnah indicated... that we include in this "in the cause of Allah" something other than jihad, which is... It is jihad, of course, so it was found in the Sunnah what allows including in this name "in the cause of Allah" something other than jihad, which is spending money for some of the poor to perform Hajj to the House of Allah. This is what the text stated, and it is what... Imam Ahmad in his Musnad and Abu Dawud in his Sunan reported that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) 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, the one with the hump, and I asked him to take me with him on... another... but he refused. So the Messenger (peace be upon him) sent for Abu Talq and said to him: Your wife says such and such. He said: O Messenger of Allah, my camel is so-and-so, meaning the one the woman had pointed to, and she had asked her husband to take her on it.
It is in the cause of Allah, as if he is saying it is reserved for fighting in the cause of Allah. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said—and here is the point— Imam Ahmad took from this hadith that paying zakah to enable those who cannot afford it to perform Hajj is in the cause of Allah. We have nothing to help us expand the meaning of this phrase beyond it including, in addition to jihad, Hajj to the House of Allah.
