He dedicated the Zakah due on his money for constructing Masjids

Q: What is your legal opinion, may Allah grant you permanent blessing, concerning a person who assigned his Zakah (obligatory charity) money to building, constructing or repairing Masjids (mosques) or anything related to this? Is it permissible to spend it in such acts? Is this act included in the meaning of "for Allah's Sake and the wayfarer"?


A: It is not permissible to pay Zakah in this manner; and the one who did so should pay Zakah again.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
