What is Zakat?

Zakat (Arabic: زكاة) is the third pillar of Islam — an obligatory annual payment of 2.5% on net savings that have been held for one full lunar year (Hawl) and exceed the minimum threshold (Nisab). It is a right of the poor upon the wealth of the rich, and purifies one's remaining wealth.

Zakat can be paid to eight categories specified in the Quran (9:60): the poor, the destitute, those who administer Zakat, those whose hearts are to be reconciled, to free captives, to those in debt, in the cause of Allah (fi sabilillah), and to the stranded traveller.

Zakat FAQ

How do I calculate Zakat?
Total your zakatable assets (cash, gold, stock, investments, receivables), subtract immediate liabilities, and if the net amount is above the Nisab, pay 2.5% as Zakat.
What is the Nisab?
Nisab is the minimum threshold of wealth above which Zakat is due. Based on silver (595g), it is approximately £500. Based on gold (87.5g), it is higher — around £5,000–£6,000.
When should I pay Zakat?
Zakat is due after your wealth has been above the Nisab for one full Islamic lunar year (Hawl). Many Muslims choose to pay in Ramadan for greater reward.
