Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate zakat on gold?
Zakat on gold is due when you own 87.48 grams (7.5 tola) or more. Weigh your gold, multiply by the current gold price per gram, and pay 2.5% of the total value. Gold jewelry you regularly wear is exempt according to some scholars, consult your local scholar for guidance.
What is the nisab threshold for zakat?
Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth you must own before zakat becomes obligatory. It is set at 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver. Most scholars recommend using the silver nisab (the lower threshold) to ensure more people fulfill this obligation.
Is zakat due on savings and bank accounts?
Yes. Cash savings in bank accounts, fixed deposits, and any money held for a full lunar year (hawl) above the nisab threshold is subject to 2.5% zakat. This includes checking accounts, savings accounts, and money kept at home.
Do I subtract my debts before calculating zakat?
Yes. You can deduct immediate debts that are due within the lunar year from your total assets before calculating zakat. Long-term debts like mortgages are generally not fully deductible, only the current year's installments may be subtracted. Consult a scholar for your specific situation.
When should I pay zakat?
Zakat is due once a full lunar year (hawl) has passed since your wealth first reached the nisab. Many Muslims pay during Ramadan for extra reward, but it can be paid any time. Calculate based on the lunar calendar, and you may pay in advance if needed.
