Authoritative Islamic rulings from the Moroccan Supreme Council of Scholars and the Ministry of Habous, summarized and translated for Moroccan Muslims.
For 1447 AH / 2026 the Council set Zakat al-Fitr at 25 MAD per person, payable before the Eid al-Fitr prayer as a Sa' (≈2.5 kg) of the local staple food, given so that the poor may share in the day's joy.
In October 2025 the Supreme Council of Scholars issued a comprehensive fatwa detailing Zakat al-Mal: the 2.5% rate, the gold nisab of 85g, the one-lunar-year holding period, and the eight categories of eligible recipients.
The Supreme Council of Scholars has ruled that Islam forbids aggression against innocents and the taking of non-combatant life, grounding its position in the Quranic verse 'Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress' (2:190).
Morocco's Council of Scholars considers Freemasonry and analogous secret societies incompatible with Islam, because their concealed rites, oaths of absolute loyalty, and beliefs clash with the religion's requirements of transparency, monotheism, and exclusive allegiance to Allah.
