A building that was built as a 
mosque.
Definition
Use building=mosque for a building designed and constructed for the five daily prayers of Islam.
Note that this tag does not indicate that the building is currently used as a place of worship. See 'How to map'.
How to map
Ideally, draw an area around the building outline. If that is not possible one may set a node instead. Tag it with building=mosque.
In almost all cases the tags amenity=place_of_worship + religion=muslim must be added to indicate the current use of the building. The exceptions would be buildings constructed as mosques that are now closed or used for another purpose.
The whole area or campus, containing the mosque, staff residences, madrasa buildings, etc. can be tagged landuse=religious + religion=muslim.
