Getting Started

Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. It is a mandatory charitable contribution, often considered to be a tax, for all Muslims who meet the necessary criteria of wealth.

What is Nisab?

Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must possess for a whole lunar year before Zakat becomes obligatory.

The Hawl

Zakat is due once you have held wealth above the Nisab threshold for one full lunar year (approx. 354 days).

Who should pay Zakat?
  • Must be a Muslim.
  • Must be sane and reached the age of puberty (though opinions vary on minors' wealth).
  • Must own wealth above the Nisab threshold.
  • Must have full ownership and possession of the wealth.

Did you know?

Zakat is not due on assets used for personal consumption, such as your main home, car, or furniture. It is primarily due on wealth that has the potential to grow or is in liquid form.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is jewelry zakatable?

Generally, yes, if it is made of gold or silver. Most scholars agree that Zakat is due on jewelry if it exceeds the Nisab threshold, even if it is for personal use, while some others exempt personal use jewelry.

Do I pay Zakat on retirement accounts?

Zakat is due on the zakatable portion of your retirement funds (like 401k or Pension). This usually means the amount you would receive if you were to withdraw it today, minus taxes and penalties.

Is Cryptocurrency zakatable?

Yes, cryptocurrency is considered a digital asset and is subject to Zakat at 2.5% of its current market value, provided it meets the Nisab and Hawl requirements.

How often is Zakat paid?

Zakat is paid once every lunar year. Many Muslims choose to pay it during Ramadan for increased blessings, but it can be paid at any time once the Hawl (one year) has passed.
