Summary
A mosque is not among the eight categories of zakat recipients (asnaf). However, a mosque may receive zakat proceeds if there is no committee managing it.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Masjid tidak termasuk dalam golongan asnaf yang lapan. Tetapi, masjid boleh mendapat perolehan zakat jika tiada jawatankuasa yang menguruskannya.
