Zakat FAQs
Quick answers to common questions about Zakat Al-Mal and how this calculator works.
Zakat Al-Mal is an obligatory charity which is a duty upon every abled Muslim. 2.5% of a Muslim accumulated wealth calculated yearly, and the proceeds should be distributed among the poor and needy, more specifically saying distributed to the eight eligible groups who can obtain zakat.
The Quran emphasises on the necessity of giving zakat at multiple accounts.
“Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives zakah; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous.” (Quran 2:177)

Zakat Al-Fitr has to be given by the head of the family before the start of the Eid-prayer, to the poor and less privileged. This is to ensure that all Muslims celebrate a hunger free Eid filled with happiness and contentment. The local food or wheat is generally used as a measure in giving Zakat Al-Fitr.
This is a type of voluntary charity. Sadaqah is referred to as any act of kindness done by one Muslim to another, be it smiling or financial support for their daily living etc. It is a form of charity that is not restricted to the rich only, but any Muslims can perform Sadaqah in ways that they can.
Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) said, “Every Muslim has to give in sadaqah (charity).” The people asked, “O Allah’s Messenger (saw)! If someone has nothing to give, what will he do?” He said, “He should work with his hands and benefit himself and also give in charity (from what he earns).” The people further asked, “If he cannot do even that?” He replied, “Then he should help the needy who appeal for help.” Then the people asked, “If he cannot do that?” He replied, “Then he should perform all that is good and keep away from all that is evil and this will be regarded as charitable deeds.” (Bukhari)

Zakat has to be paid when one lunar year (hawl) has passed, starting from the day your wealth exceeds the nisab (the minimum amount a Muslim must have before being obliged to pay Zakat/Zakah). It can be paid at any time of the year, but it should not exceed more than one hawl. It is always a good idea to have a specific date to pay Zakat so that you do not miss out on this duty.
