The answer

It is obligatory for whoever acquires unlawful money to spend it on the welfare of Muslims, such as hospitals and schools, and everything that benefits them generally. The more probable opinion is that it is permissible to build mosques with such money, as they are for the welfare of Muslims, as held by Imam An-Nawawi and Al-Ghazali. Therefore, there is no impediment to using such funds for the benefit of the mosque.
