The third pillar

Calculate your Zakat

Zakat is obligatory on every adult Muslim whose wealth exceeds the nisab threshold: 2.5% of qualifying wealth, given once a year. It is not charity you choose to give; it is a right the poor hold over your wealth.

Nisab basis

Most scholars recommend the silver nisab (612.36g), as the lower threshold means more people give and more of the poor benefit. The gold nisab is 87.48g.
