With the decline in case rates and hospitalizations in Washington state, and in compliance with CDC guidelines, we are updating the masking requirements in ICTC

Starting from 3/12/22, masks are no longer mandatory at ICTC. We support the decision of anyone who chooses to continue to wear a mask (and/or socially continues to socially distance) while at the ICTC facility, but we will no ;onger enforce these mandatory guidelines

We strongly encourge everyone to get fully vaccinated and the booster dose if you have not already done so. 

Thank you for your support in keeping the community safe, and may you all be safe, protected, blessed, and rewared. Ameen  

We would like to remind you that starting 04/05/19 our Friday prayer will start at 1 pm which means the Khutbah will start at 1 pm and the prayer will be around 1:30 PM. This Friday prayer timing will be kept for year around. We already discussed this with multiple Imams and our religious leaders and also results of community survey showed that more than 80% are in favor of the change.

There are two different opinions about this and both supported by authentic hadiths, one that has no objection of having Friday prayer prior to Duhr prayer and the second one favor the Friday prayer no earlier than Duhr prayer time. In our situation, staring at 1 pm and praying around 1:30 pm puts us year around after the Duhr prayer in the north west (the latest is 1:08 pm in June).

The objective of this change is to ease and allow community members who are working on Friday to attend prayer in a consistent time and have a fixed lunch break.
