Question
Can a Masjid accept Zakaat?
Answer
For the validity of one’s Zakaat, it is necessary that the Zakaat be given in the ownership of a poor person that qualifies as a recipient of Zakaat. Fulfilling this requirement is not possible when donating one’s Zakaat to a Masjid hence it will not be permissible to donate one’s Zakaat to a Masjid.
Yes, if donated to a recipient of Zakaat and he voluntarily donates it to a Masjid thereafter, then there is no harm in doing so.
