The opportunity for online payment of Fitr Zakat remains open until April 6, with payments accepted via Bandeyri Pay until the conclusion of Ramadan. For those preferring offline transactions, arrangements have been made to facilitate zakat payments at the Islamic Centre hall.

As Ramadan progresses, zakat will continue to be accepted at the Islamic Centre hall during the last ten days, commencing from Sunday, with operating hours set from 1100 hrs to 1400 hrs daily, excluding Fridays.

In an effort to accommodate diverse preferences, the Zakat House has organized an option for individuals wishing to contribute zakat in the form of wheat grains.

Collection times are scheduled from 1300 hrs to 1600 hrs on all days except Friday and Saturday. On April 9, the collection window for wheat grain zakat will be extended until 1800 hrs.

The Zakat House emphasised its commitment to ensuring accessibility and convenience for contributors, underscoring the importance of collective efforts in supporting charitable initiatives during the holy month of Ramadan.
