Summary
Placing mosque donations in a fixed deposit is permitted provided certain conditions are met. The money must not have been donated for a specific purpose such as orphans or building a madrasah, and it must be kept in a Shariah-compliant bank deposit. It must also be surplus funds rather than money needed for current monthly expenses, and be managed by a trustworthy and responsible person appointed by the mosque.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
