<![CDATA[The epistemological tension between fulfilling the individual rights of marginalized groups and financing collective religious infrastructure triggers profound debates regarding the fī sabīlillāh zakat category. This study investigates the contentious allocation of zakat funds for mosque construction, addressing theoretical voids in integrating classical orthodoxy with modern philanthropic governance. Utilizing normative doctrinal research, this study employed a comparative jurisprudential approach and maqāṣid syariah framework to evaluate classical texts, contemporary fatwas, and statutory regulations. The findings demonstrate that expanding fī sabīlillāh for physical infrastructure is never an absolute authorization, but a strictly conditional concession. This allocation is solely valid when the mosque functions comprehensively to fulfill five maqāṣid pillars and inherently applies the jurisprudence of priorities to protect primary rights of the poor. Ultimately, this conditional framework establishes a prescriptive global parameter for modern zakat institutions, perfectly balancing infrastructural da'wah needs with imperative distributive justice across various Muslim jurisdictions throughout the world.]]>
