السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Masjid Al-Farooq is accepting and will distribute, إن شاء الله, your zakat al-fitr. The amount would be equivalent to $15 this year. If you pay online or through kiosk, please select “Zakat al Fitr”.

We encourage the congregation to pay Zakat al Fitr as soon as possible so we can deliver it to zakat recipients on time. Also please remember that Zakat al Fitr needs to be paid before you offer `Id prayer.

Narrated Ibn `Umar:

قَالَ فَرَضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم زَكَاةَ الْفِطْرِ صَاعًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ، أَوْ صَاعًا مِنْ شَعِيرٍ عَلَى الْعَبْدِ وَالْحُرِّ، وَالذَّكَرِ وَالأُنْثَى، وَالصَّغِيرِ وَالْكَبِيرِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَأَمَرَ بِهَا أَنْ تُؤَدَّى قَبْلَ خُرُوجِ النَّاسِ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ‏.‏

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) enjoined the payment of one Sa’ of dates or one Sa’ of barley as Zakat-ul-Fitr on every Muslim slave or free, male or female, young or old, and he ordered that it be paid before the people went out to offer the `Id prayer. (One Sa’ = 3 Kilograms approx.)
