Before you ask

Who will see my question?

Your question goes to the center’s email, and the Imam will see it. It will not be shared publicly without your permission.

When will I get an answer?

The Imam replies as time allows, usually by email. For urgent matters, please call the center.

Can I ask in person instead?

Yes. You are welcome to speak with the Imam at the center after prayers or call (570) 420-1793 to ask about a time.

Does a reply count as a formal fatwa?

Replies give guidance based on the Qur’an and Sunnah. For complex rulings, the Imam may suggest further study or consulting a qualified scholar.
