Issue: Explaining the ruling on giving zakah for building mosques and repairing roads.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Is it permissible to build mosques with zakah? No. Is it permissible to repair roads or install water coolers for people to drink from? No. Because jihad in the cause of Allah is a specific category, and the phrase "in the cause of Allah" is restricted to jihad in the cause of Allah.
