Zakat al-Fitrah
With the excitement of the joyous completion of the holy month of Ramadan, it is important to remember the needs of those in poverty and our obligation towards them. Zakat al-fitrah is a special form of obligatory zakat given at the end of the month of Ramadan, during the day of Eid.
The recommended amount for Zakat al-fitrah this year in the United States is $15 per person. The sum is to be paid by the head of household on a persons own behalf as well as of his or her dependents. This would also include any guests who are staying with a person and are considered dependents on the eve of Eid al-Fitr.
Note that if there are needy people in one's own city, as a precaution, the Zakat al-Fitrah should paid within that city. [Reference: Minhaj al-Salihin, Book 1, page 383, 2001, Mas'ala #1182.]. For those who will be attending the Eid prayer, they can pay their Fitrah in cash before the prayer begins.

By giving your zakat al-Fitrah to Imam al-Asr Masjid (IAM), you are authorizing IAM to convey your zakat to worthy recipients on your behalf.
Everyone is requested to attend and new members are welcome to join. Proper Islamic attire is required at all times during the Center programs.
Eid Mubarak in advance, and may God accept your fast and good deeds!
Jazakum Allah Khairan -
