Re: mosquee!!!!!

Fitrah you mean. Fitrah is calculated based on several factors and each masjid has its own sets of rules. Some calculate it based on commodities such as rice/wheat/GURH/dates/honey etc while others take gold and silver into account which I think is a non-Hanafi practice. Our masjid calculates Fitrah based on what Pakistani familes, generally speaking, consume most: Wheat, which comes out to be about $5. A Mufti from Karachi visits our Masjid during Ramadan, Mufti Naeem who also runs a school in Karachi, explained the basic principle behind fitrah calculation but now I cannot rmember. Suffice to say that it is usually between $5-10 per person on average but could be more. One thing you must remember that Fitrah must be paid before Eidain. Hope this helps.
