Introduction to Zakat
Zakat is the third pillar of Islam and a compulsory act of worship for every eligible Muslim. It is a purification of one's wealth and a means of supporting the less fortunate in our global community.
What is Nisab?
Nisab is the minimum threshold of wealth that a person must possess for a lunar year before Zakat becomes due. It is generally calculated based on the market price of **87.48 grams of gold** or **612.36 grams of silver**.
How Much to Give?
If your total net wealth remains above the Nisab threshold for a full lunar year (Hawl), you are required to give **2.5%** of that wealth as Zakat. Our calculator handles this percentage automatically for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I pay Zakat on my jewelry?
Generally, yes. Jewelry made from gold or silver is subject to Zakat if its value (or weight) exceeds the Nisab. Some schools of thought differentiate between personal use and investment jewelry; we recommend calculating for all as a safer approach.
When should I pay my Zakat?
Zakat becomes due once you have held Nisab-level wealth for one lunar year. Many Muslims choose to pay their Zakat during Ramadan to multiply their rewards, but it can be paid any time the anniversary of your wealth is reached.
Can I give Zakat to my family?
You cannot give Zakat to those you are already financially responsible for, such as your spouse, parents, or children. However, you can give it to other relatives (like siblings or cousins) if they fall into one of the eligible categories of Zakat recipients.
