[Q]: A masjid here in Canada claims they have fatwás from a group of scholars permitting Canadians and those in non-Muslim lands to give their zakāh to the masjid, meaning that it can be used to build or further the masjid. Who are the ones eligible for zakāt al-māl, and could it ever be allowed for mosques to keep the money of zakāt al-māl?
