What Is Zakat?

Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and an obligatory form of charity for Muslims whose wealth reaches the required threshold known as the nisab.
It is a spiritual duty that purifies wealth, supports those in need, and strengthens the bond of care within the Ummah.
In Islam, Zakat is usually paid at 2.5% of qualifying wealth that has remained above the nisab threshold for one full lunar year, known as hawl.
This includes assets such as cash, savings, gold, silver, business stock, and certain investments.

وَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ ۚ وَمَا تُقَدِّمُوا۟ لِأَنفُسِكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ

(Surah Al-Baqarah)

"And establish prayer and give Zakat, and whatever good you put forward for yourselves—you will find it with Allah(ﷻ). Indeed,
Allah(ﷻ) is Seeing of what you do."

What Is Nisab in Zakat?

Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must own before Zakat becomes due. It is traditionally calculated using the value of either gold or silver.
The commonly used nisab measures are:

8 Categories of Zakat Recipients: Who Is Eligible to Receive Zakat?

In Islam, Zakat can only be given to specific eligible groups mentioned in the Qur’an. These are known as the 8 categories of Zakat recipients. Understanding who can receive Zakat helps ensure your donation is distributed correctly and reaches those most in need.

  • The Poor : People who do not have enough wealth or income to meet their basic needs.
  • The Needy : Those facing financial hardship, even if they may have some income or support.
  • Zakat Administrators : Trusted individuals or organisations responsible for collecting, managing, and distributing Zakat properly.
  • Those Whose Hearts Are to Be Reconciled : People who may be supported to strengthen their connection with Islam or the Muslim community.
  • Freeing Captives or Slaves : Zakat may be used to help free people from captivity, bondage, or severe oppression where applicable.
  • People in Debt : Those who are overwhelmed by genuine debt and cannot repay it without support.
  • In the Cause of Allah(ﷻ) : Eligible efforts that serve the welfare of the Muslim community and support important Islamic causes.
  • Stranded Travellers : Travellers who are cut off from their resources and need help to return home or continue safely.

By donating Zakat to eligible recipients, your contribution can provide food, shelter, healthcare, clean water, emergency relief, and essential support to vulnerable families while fulfilling your Islamic obligation correctly.

Zakat - Frequently Asked Questions

الأسئلة الشائعة

Zakat is an obligatory charity in Islam and one of the Five Pillars. It is paid by eligible Muslims whose wealth reaches the nisab threshold and remains above it for one full Islamic lunar year. Zakat is usually calculated as 2.5% of qualifying wealth. It purifies wealth, supports those in need, and helps provide essential relief to eligible recipients such as the poor, needy, widows, orphans, people in debt, and vulnerable families.

To calculate Zakat in Islam, add your Zakatable assets, subtract eligible immediate debts, and pay 2.5% of the remaining amount if it is above the nisab threshold. Zakatable assets may include cash, savings, gold, silver, business stock, investments, and money owed to you that is likely to be repaid. Basic Zakat formula: Zakatable assets – immediate debts = net Zakatable wealth Net Zakatable wealth × 2.5% = Zakat due For example, if your net Zakatable wealth is £10,000, your Zakat due is £250. You can also use our Zakat Calculator to calculate your zakat.

You usually pay 2.5% of your qualifying wealth as Zakat. This applies when your wealth reaches the nisab threshold and has remained above that threshold for one full Islamic lunar year. For example, if your net Zakatable wealth is £5,000, your Zakat would be £125.

Zakat al-Fitr, also known as Fitrana, is a separate obligatory charity paid before Eid al-Fitr at the end of Ramadan. It is different from annual Zakat on wealth, which is known as Zakat al-Mal. Zakat al-Fitr helps those in need receive food support and celebrate Eid with dignity. Recommendation: Clearly compare “Zakat al-Fitr” with “Zakat al-Mal” because many users confuse both terms.

Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must own before Zakat becomes obligatory. It is commonly based on the value of either 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver. Because gold and silver prices change, the nisab value should be checked using current market rates at the time of calculating Zakat. Recommendation: Add a small nisab table on the page showing gold nisab and silver nisab. This improves readability and helps AI systems understand the answer.

Zakat is 2.5% of qualifying wealth in Islam. This rate applies to Zakatable assets such as cash, savings, gold, silver, business stock, and certain investments. The 2.5% rate applies once your wealth reaches nisab and has remained above nisab for one full Islamic lunar year.

Zakat can only be given to eligible recipients mentioned in Islamic guidance. These include the poor, the needy, people in debt, stranded travellers, Zakat administrators, and other eligible categories. MATW distributes Zakat through Zakat-applicable programmes that support vulnerable families facing poverty, hunger, displacement, emergencies, and hardship.

There are different scholarly opinions about paying Zakat on gold jewellery that is worn regularly. Some scholars say Zakat is due on all gold above the nisab threshold, while others distinguish between stored gold and jewellery used for personal wear. If you own gold and are unsure whether Zakat is due, check the weight and value of your gold and consult a qualified Islamic scholar for guidance based on your situation.

The 8 recipients of Zakat are: The poor The needy Zakat administrators Those whose hearts are to be reconciled Those in bondage or captivity Those in debt In the cause of Allah Stranded travellers Zakat must be distributed only to eligible recipients, which is why donors should give through a trusted and Shariah-compliant Zakat programme.

MATW’s Zakat programme is designed to collect, allocate, and distribute Zakat in accordance with Islamic requirements. Zakat funds are directed only to eligible recipients and used for Zakat-applicable programmes. To strengthen donor trust, MATW should clearly display its Zakat policy, Shariah review process, scholar oversight, and how Zakat funds are separated, tracked, and distributed.
