Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is an obligatory act of charity requiring Muslims to donate 2.5% of their qualifying wealth annually to those in need. Zakat purifies wealth and helps distribute resources fairly within the community.
Zakat is calculated at 2.5% of your total zakatable wealth, which includes cash, savings, gold, silver, business assets, stocks, and investments, minus any debts or liabilities. Your wealth must exceed the Nisab threshold for Zakat to be obligatory.
Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must possess before Zakat becomes obligatory. It is defined as the value of 7.5 tola (approximately 87.48 grams) of gold or 52.5 tola (approximately 612.36 grams) of silver. The lower of the two values is typically used as the threshold.
Hawl refers to a complete Islamic lunar year (approximately 354 days). For Zakat to become obligatory, your wealth must remain above the Nisab threshold for one full Hawl. If your wealth drops below Nisab during this period, the Hawl resets.
The Quran (9:60) identifies eight categories of Zakat recipients: the poor (al-fuqara), the needy (al-masakin), Zakat administrators, those whose hearts are to be reconciled, freeing captives, debtors, in the cause of Allah, and the wayfarer (stranded traveller).
