Zakat must be given to a poor and needy Muslim individual. Zakat cannot be given for a Masjid. Only lillah funds may be used for the building of a Masjid.
If Zakat was given to build a Masjid, it will not be discharged.
And Allah Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
