No Zakat is due on personal-use items like your home, car, furniture, or clothing.
Note: Zakat must only be distributed to eligible individuals. It cannot be used for general masjid expenses, salaries (unless for Zakat management), or construction.
All Zakat funds are distributed locally first, with 100% confidentiality and oversight by our trusted Zakat Committee.
Fitrah can be paid in cash or equivalent grain/food value.
“Charity is a necessity for every Muslim…”
“Even smiling at your brother is charity…”
(Hadith: Bukhari & Muslim)
“Purify your wealth. Empower your neighbors. Fulfill your faith.”
