Donations

"The mosques of Allah shall be visited and maintained by such as believe in Allah and the Last Day, establish regular prayers, and practice 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 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. You may read his complete answer HERE

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.
