Frequently Asked Questions
What is Nisab? +
Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must possess for a full year before Zakat becomes mandatory. It is traditionally equivalent to 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver. Check the current market rates to see if you meet this threshold.
Who is eligible to receive Zakat? +
Zakat can be distributed to eight categories of people, including the poor, the needy, those in debt, and those working to collect Zakat, as mentioned in the Quran. It cannot be given to immediate family members (parents, children, spouse).
Do I pay Zakat on personal items? +
No, Zakat is not payable on personal necessities like your primary home, clothing, furniture, or a vehicle used for daily commuting. It is only due on "wealth-generating" or surplus assets like cash, gold, and trade goods.
How often do I need to pay Zakat? +
Zakat is paid once every lunar (Hijri) year, provided your wealth has stayed above the Nisab threshold for that entire year. Many people choose to pay during Ramadan for the extra blessings, but it can be paid at any time.
