Masjid Al-Khair was officially opened by the then-Minister for Community Development, Abdullah Tarmugi, in 1997.
The mosque was constructed to support the growing Muslim population in the developing Choa Chu Kang and Teck Whye new towns.
It operates under the administration of the Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS), the statutory board overseeing Muslim affairs in Singapore.
Masjid Al-Khair is a prominent mosque located in the Choa Chu Kang/Teck Whye residential area of Singapore, serving the local Muslim community. It was the first mosque to be built under the Phase Three Mosque Building Fund program, opening its doors in 1997. The building features a distinct architectural style that blends modern functional design with traditional Islamic geometric patterns. It serves as a community hub, hosting various religious classes, social welfare programs, and youth development initiatives. The mosque is equipped with air-conditioned prayer halls and extensive facilities for congregational activities. Its design emphasizes accessibility and community engagement, characteristic of late 20th-century Singaporean mosque architecture.
