About Zakat
Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam and a mandatory form of charity
Zakat is calculated at 2.5% of qualifying wealth held for a full lunar year. It is only due when your wealth exceeds the nisab threshold.
The nisab is calculated based on the value of gold (87.48g) or silver (612.36g), whichever is lower, to ensure maximum benefit for those in need.
Nisab Threshold
The minimum amount of wealth required to pay Zakat
The nisab is equivalent to 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver. We use the lower value to ensure more people can benefit from Zakat.
If your total qualifying wealth is below the nisab threshold, you are not required to pay Zakat. However, voluntary charity (sadaqah) is always encouraged.
