Is it permissible to pay Zakat from funds invested for the benefit of the mosque?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the funds are endowed (waqf) for the mosque, there is no due on them. However, if they are owned by a specific individual who donates their proceeds to the mosque, then zakat is obligatory on them, provided the conditions for its obligation are met, namely reaching the (minimum threshold) and the passing of a hawl (one lunar year).
