Fitra Guidance

Fitra can be paid via one of the following methods:

(1) online at www.iechusaini.org,

(2) Zelle at [email protected], you must also complete this form https://forms.gle/RHwRQzh4ypiSMHo56 to designate fitra as Syed or Non-Syed,

(3) post mail addressed to IEC Husaini, 1269 Goodrich Avenue, Glendale Heights, IL 60139 or

(4) fitra placed sealed envelope dropped in the IEC Husaini mailbox by 5:00 PM, Monday, May 25, 2020.

Important: When submitting fitra payment, please note in details/memo of payment method if fitra should be applied as Syed or Non-Syed.

Fitra is given to a faithful religious person. It is given to them only to fulfill their needs. It is imperative upon a person providing fitra to give priority consideration to underprivileged person(s) in their own family. If such a person (s) does not exist within a family, then one should identify an underprivileged person in their neighborhood or community. Fitra can not be paid in advance of Eid ul Fitr. However an equivalent amount may be provided as Amanat in advance; and after the sighting of 1st Shawwal/Eid ul Fitr moon the Amanat (intention) can be changed to Fitra. A Syed can provide Fitra to both Syed and non-Syed, but a non-Syed cannot provide fitra to a Syed.

According to IEC’s estimates and derivations, the Fitra amount is $10.00 per person. It is recommended to be generous in providing Fitra, which is a form of charity. If you have any questions, please contact Moulana Saiyed Mehboob Mehdi Abidi al-Najafi. May Allah (SWT) reward you in abundance and provide you and your family with the best of health, happiness and prosperity. Please join us online for the Eid ul Fitr prayers and celebration. Jazakum’Allah Khair.

Iltemas-e-Du’a.
