Understanding Zakat: A Complete Guide

What is Zakat?

Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and is an obligatory form of almsgiving for all financially able Muslims. It's a fixed portion (2.5%) of a Muslim's savings and wealth that is distributed to those in need.

Who Must Pay Zakat?

Zakat is obligatory for every Muslim who:

  • Has reached puberty
  • Is of sound mind
  • Owns wealth equal to or above the nisab threshold
  • Has maintained this wealth for one complete lunar year (Hawl)

What is Nisab?

Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must possess before they become liable to pay Zakat. This threshold is equivalent to:

  • 87.48 grams of gold or
  • 612.36 grams of silver

Most scholars recommend using the gold standard today as it's more stable in modern economies.
