Our Programs

IDP runs a series of innovative and need-sensitive programs across the communities our Imams serve. The programs belong to multiple categories: Zakat, Sadaqah, Sadaqah Jaariyah, Hardship Relief, etc. We also undertake the responsibility of implementing a number of programs for local and international charities. We invite you to explore and donate to various causes.

Zakat Al Maal

Zakah is a pillar of the faith wherein Muslims are required to pay annually 2.5% on their specific Zakatable assets. This is given to 8 categories of recipients as outlined in Surah Tawbah, verse 60.

Zakat Al Fitr

A charitable donation that must be given before Eid prayer, before the end of the month of Ramadan, for the love of Allah. Let our Imams distribute to members of their community!

Fidyah

If one has missed fasts and is unable to make them up then one has to discharge the Fidyah. Fidyah is feeding a poor Muslim for each day missed. A day includes 2 meals at $3 each.

Kaffarah

A charitable compensation made for intentionally breaking fasts during Ramadan or for breaking an oath. One broken fast = one meal for 60 people. Breaking oath = one meal for 10 people.

One Dollar One Meal
