Goldington Islamic Centre Fitrana has been set at £5.50 per person 
It should be paid for each member of the household before the Eid prayer. (we will only be collecting cash on the day)

Give generously this Eid.
Eid prayer donations will support the Salaam Masjid expansion project.

We look forward to welcoming the community together for this blessed occasion.

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,

Goldington Islamic Centre would like to remind everyone that Fitrana (Sadaqatul Fitr) this year is £5.50 per person. Please remember to include every member of your household, including children and dependents.

There are two ways to pay:

• 1️⃣ Online: Pay via Ummah Welfare Trust using the custom amount option (£5.50 per person) https://uwt.org/projects/sadaqatul-fitr/
• 2️⃣ Cash: A FITRANA bucket will be placed on the main table near the masjid entrance, clearly labelled FITRANA. All cash collected will also be transferred to Ummah Welfare Trust.

Who needs to pay?
Fitrana should be paid by every Muslim who has the means, on behalf of themselves and those they are responsible for.

When should it be paid?
Fitrana must be paid before the Eid Salah so it can reach those in need in time for Eid.

Ibn Abbas narrated that the Prophet (PBUH) made Zakat al-Fitr compulsory so those who fasted may be purified of their idle deeds and shameful talk and so that the poor may be fed (Hadith Abu Dawud).

Please try to pay your Fitrana early so it can reach those in need before Eid.

Jazakum Allahu Khayran
Goldington Islamic Centre
