Is it permissible to take money that was donated to a mosque due to changing circumstances and need for the money?

The money must be paid to the designated waqf bank, and it is not permissible to retract it even if it is needed. The lack of acceptance does not affect the validity of the endowment for the mosque, as it is not a condition here, for the mosque cannot accept.
