Ruling on paying zakah for the construction of mosques
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In reality, you have touched upon the topic of zakah, O Shaykh. Our brother is asking about it, saying: Is it permissible to give zakah to mosques?
Answer:
No, it is to be spent on other things, not on mosques. Mosques are to be built from other than charity. However, zakah is to be spent on its rightful recipients: the poor, the mujahideen (those fighting in the path of Allah), the wayfarers, the freeing of captives, the release of Muslim prisoners, and the debtors who are in need and unable to pay. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
