What is the ruling on building a mosque or school through online charitable initiatives and donations from website members, knowing that the mosque will be named after the website, and what is the reward for the donor?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Collecting donations for building a mosque is one of the greatest acts of worship and ongoing charities. The one who contributes to it receives a tremendous reward, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah will build for him a similar house in Paradise." Building a mosque in impoverished countries is of greater benefit. There is no harm in naming a mosque after the location of a tribe if there is a benefit in it, although it is better to avoid it.
