Donations
"The mosques of Allah shall be visited and maintained by such as
believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish regular prayers, and practise
regular charity, and fear none (at all) except Allah. It is they who are
expected to be on true guidance."
The Holy Quran, Chapter 9 Verse 18 (Yusuf Ali Translation)
ICB needs your financial help to support onoing facilities maintenance and organize educational programs.
Please donate generously. ICB is a 501 (C) 3 tax-exempt and MA Religious (Chapter 180) organization.
You may also donate your Zakat money for this purpose.
It is important to recognize that the consensus legal opinion states that
it is entirely permissible with using Zakat for the purpose of financing
a multipurpose Islamic Center in a non-Muslim country, as this is
“fi-Sabil-Allah” (al-Taubah 9:60). A number of 20th century jurists including
Muhammd ‘abduh, Rashid Rida, Maulana Mawdudi, Amin Ahsan Islahi, Yusuf
al-Qaradawi as well as local Muslim leaders support this opinion.
Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, past President of ISNA, has specifically answered
the question of using Zakat funds for helping with construction of mosques.
He quotes many other sources also, such as Sheikh Qardawi, and others.
This was published in religion section of "Pakistan Link" of January 28th, 2000.

We recognize that the economic uncertainty we are facing requires us to be prudent with all
our expenditures. By relying upon our Zakat, we can support our center, knowing our donations
are directly benefiting the understanding of Islam in our community.
