You have to look for a mosque for which this amount will be enough, even if that is outside the Kingdom (i.e., Saudi Arabia). If you cannot find anything, you can contribute it towards the building of a mosque, such as buying the land or some of the construction materials, etc. In this way the person who donated it will attain the reward. And Allaah knows best.

If the amount collected to build a mosque is not enough
Question: 10533
