Reasons to support the Muslim Legal Fund of America (MLFA):
- We are recognized nationwide as a strategic partner with the unique expertise and proven leadership to effectively manage high-profile federal cases
- We are a well established, professionally managed, strategically focused non-profit organization dedicated to defending the American Muslim community, its assets, and its respected leadership
- We are a determined, front-line, critical defense legal arm, committed to continually strengthening the civil & legal rights of American Muslims
- This organization is for the benefit of all American Muslims.
Law enforcement and many members of the general public reacted by mistreating and violating the safety and civil rights of Muslims in America. Thousands of Muslims were, and are still, being detained and held without charge due to this backlash.
MLFA is established as a Tax Exempt 501(c)(3) organization. Your donations to MLFA are tax deductable. In March of 2003, MLFA received a fatwa from the ISNA Fiqh Council of North America declaring donations to MLFA as legitimate Zakat-ul-Mal. MLFA also received endorsements from numerous imams and Muslim leaders, including Imam Siraj Wahhaj, Dr. Abdullah Idris, Sheikh Muhammed Nur Abdullah of ISNA, Dr. Souhail Ghanouchi of MAS and Br. Omar Ahmed of CAIR.
It is important to know that supporting MLFA means defending and upholding the constitution of America. MLFA has sought legal clarification on the rights of individuals who contribute funds towards the legal defense of others. We have been assured that providing individuals with legal support is not only lawful, but is in keeping with the traditions of constitutional rights in America.Donating to the MLFA is in fact the most effective channel to challenge injustice.
