Giving Zakat For Building Masjid
Brother Nadeem, JazakAllah Khair for your response, I appreciate your taking the time and responding to my query, however, the reason for them not to accept Zakat is not what you mentioned, there is a whole background based on which none of the mainstream Ahl-e-Sunnah-O-Jamat, allow Zakat money to be used for Masjid “construction”. The key word is construction, they will happily take funds to pay the wages of the Immam and Moazin, even to construct a room/Hujra for them within the masjid, however, when it comes to using the funds for actual masjid construction they don’t allow it, I don’t want to go into the details of their beliefs here, that will be a separate discussion, however, I can assure you the reason you listed are not playing any role here 🙂
