Is it permissible to donate some money to help build a Sunni mosque?

Every Masjid is a house of Allah where Muslims worship Allah in. Helping in building any Masjid is good except places of enemies of Ahlul Bayt (AS) because their Masjids are like Masjid of Dhiraar which was not for Allah but for Shaitan.
