The answer

It is permissible to offer daily voluntary charity to complete a donation share for building a mosque. If it is permissible to offer obligatory charity before its due time, then offering voluntary charity is even more permissible. It must be noted that obligatory Zakat al-Mal (charity on wealth) is not sufficient for building mosques; rather, it must be disbursed to its eight designated recipients mentioned in the Quran. The building of mosques should be funded through voluntary charity.
