Questions about giving

Zakat at Masjid Omar

Can I designate my contribution as Zakat?

Yes. Select or note Zakat when donating so the funds remain properly designated.

Does the masjid calculate Zakat for me?

We can provide general educational guidance. Complex personal calculations should be reviewed with a qualified scholar or advisor.

Can I recommend a family for assistance?

You may share the assistance process, but the person seeking help should contact the office directly whenever possible.
