Does the money collected with the intention of buying a house adjacent to the mosque for its expansion—money that resulted from the sale of a property through supplication—remain an obligation to the mosque, or does it return to the donor after the homeowner backed out of the sale at the last minute?

If what you made was a supplication and not a vow (nathr), a covenant (ahd), or an oath (), then the money is yours and does not transfer to the mosque. It is permissible to retract what you intended, but it is better to carry out what you intended.
