Mosque Building Donation — Benin

A mosque building donation is a way to leave behind a lasting work where worship takes place and prayers rise for generations.

For Benin, you can fund a mosque in full or take part in its construction with a share.

A mosque is more than a place of worship

Mosques are not only places where prayers are performed but centres where the community gathers and children learn the Qur'an and receive education.

• Mosques are planned according to local needs.
• A mosque is regarded as a Sadaqah Jariyah whose reward continues as long as worship takes place in it.
• You can take part individually, as a family or with a share.

Mosque building costs by region

The amounts below are the cost of the entire mosque:

You don't have to cover the full amount on your own: shares start at 100 €.

Example scenario: If 200 people from a congregation in Austria each contribute a share of 100 €, the amount needed for a 20.000 € mosque in Uganda or Asia is complete.

1. In the form above, choose the full amount or a share amount.
2. Complete the payment on the secure payment page.
3. You receive a thank-you email and, once the payment is confirmed, a receipt email.

Building a mosque together as a congregation or family

Many families in Vienna, Linz, Innsbruck or Vorarlberg prefer to carry out large projects such as a mosque together.

A joint donation can be made on behalf of family elders, in memory of a loved one, or simply with a charitable intention.

How do I donate to a mosque from Austria?

• For the entire mosque: choose the full amount in the form above.
• For a share: enter at least 100 € in the "Support with a different amount" field.
• Payment: card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, EPS, PayPal or bank transfer.
• Once the payment is confirmed, a receipt email is sent to you.

Can a mosque donation be given from Zakat?

The recipients of Zakat are the eight categories listed in Surah at-Tawbah, verse 60.

According to the Diyanet's view, Zakat is not spent on services such as mosque construction that are not given to a specific person as their property; we recommend making your mosque donation with the intention of Sadaqah.

For details, see our articles who can receive Zakat and what is Sadaqah Jariyah; if you are unsure, consult an imam or religious scholar.
