Understanding Zakat
What is Zakat?
Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, a mandatory charitable contribution for those who meet the necessary criteria of wealth. It purifies your earnings and helps those in need. It is calculated as 2.5% of your qualifying wealth held for one lunar year.
What is Nisab?
Nisab is the minimum threshold of wealth a Muslim must possess before they are liable for Zakat. There are two standards:
- Gold Standard: 87.48 grams (3 ounces) of gold.
- Silver Standard: 612.36 grams (21 ounces) of silver.
The Silver standard is often recommended as it benefits more recipients, but Gold is common for personal savings.
