Nobody has claimed responsibility for the blast at the Siddiquiya mosque.
It was the latest crushing strike in the country in the first year of Taliban governance.
The Islamic State group's Afghan affiliate has ramped up attacks against the Taliban and civilians since the former insurgents' meteoric rise to power last August amid U.S. and NATO troop withdrawal.
