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?

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.
