What is Zakat?
Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam. It is an obligatory charity that eligible Muslims must give each year to support those in need. It purifies wealth and ensures that resources are shared within the community.
Who is required to pay Zakat?
Any adult Muslim who possesses wealth above the nisab threshold for one lunar year is required to pay Zakat. The nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a person must have before Zakat becomes obligatory.
What types of wealth are included in Zakat?
Zakat is typically calculated on cash savings, bank balances, gold and silver, investments, business assets, and certain other forms of wealth. Personal items such as your home, car, clothing, and household belongings are not included.
When should I pay Zakat?
Zakat should be paid once a lunar year has passed since your wealth reached the nisab threshold. Many Muslims choose to calculate and give their Zakat during Ramadan due to the increased spiritual rewards.
