Understanding Zakat & The Concept of Nisab
Zakat is the third pillar of Islam, acting as an obligatory charity and spiritual purification of wealth. It is mandated for every sane, adult Muslim whose wealth exceeds a specific minimum threshold—known as Nisab—and who has held that wealth for one complete lunar year (Hawl).
Gold vs. Silver Nisab
Historically, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) set the Nisab at 20 Mithqal of gold (approximately 87.48 grams) or 200 Dirhams of silver (approximately 612.36 grams). In modern times, because silver is significantly cheaper, the silver Nisab threshold is much lower. Most contemporary Islamic scholars recommend calculating Zakat based on the Silver Nisab as it benefits the poor and needy by making more people eligible to pay Zakat.
- Zakatable Assets: Include cash at home or in bank accounts, gold and silver jewelry (according to most Madhahib), business inventory, and investments/shares.
- Non-Zakatable Assets: Your primary residence, personal car, furniture, and tools used for your trade are generally exempt from Zakat.
