What is Zakat's definition and its importance?

Zakat is the third pillar of Islam, representing the act of support to those in need. It is obligatory for all financially able Muslims and serves as a means of purifying wealth and helping those less fortunate.

How is Zakat calculated?

Zakat is calculated as 2.5% of a Muslim’s accumulated wealth kept for over a year, according to the Islamic Calendar. This includes savings, investments, and other assets as well. You can calculate your Zakat using our online Zakat Calculator.

Is Zakat only obligatory during Ramadan?

While many Muslims choose to fulfil their Zakat obligation during Ramadan, it can be given at any time of the year. Ramadan is a particularly auspicious time for increased acts of charity.

Is there a minimum wealth threshold for Zakat?

Yes, a minimum amount of wealth, known as “nisab,” must be exceeded for Zakat to be obligatory. This threshold is determined based on the value of gold or silver.

For which part of my wealth don’t I need to pay Zakat?

With the exception of gold and silver, Zakat is not required on personal possessions such as a house, car, or any items acquired for personal use rather than for trading purposes.
