The answer

The summary of the previous fatwa is that the preference between giving charity to beggars and to mosques depends on the need. If the beggars are in dire need and find no one to give them charity, then giving charity to them is better, and they should not be turned away disappointed. If a residential area is in urgent need of a mosque, then building the mosque takes precedence over beggars, unless their need is essential, in which case they take precedence.
