Giving Zakat For Building Masjid
Brother Masood. Perhaps mosque management has a point here. They perhaps think that many a times people overlook more deserving person of Zakat and instead give it to mosque. On the side of caution perhaps they decided not to accept Zakat. To my understanding of Quran giving an order of priority, parents, adult children, siblings, uncles, aunts, cousins, neighbors, servants, immigrants, and many more people have a higher priority over Zakat than a mosque. In a poor country like Pakistan, it is highly unlikely that all the above mentioned person related to a Zakat payer are well to do before the Zakat payer considers giving Zakat to a mosque.
