Frequently asked questions.

What is Zakat?

Zakat, meaning to purify, is the third pillar of Islam and is a compulsory charitable payment that goes on to benefit the poor and needy.

Every sane, adult Muslim whose wealth exceeds the current Nisab value must pay Zakat, which is 2.5% of the individuals total wealth.

Nisab is the minimum value of total wealth one must possess in order to pay Zakat. It is defined as the value of 87.5g of pure gold or 613g of silver. Most scholars favour the lower value as it means that more people can pay Zakat and therefore there are more beneficiaries.

The value of 613g of silver as of 3rd of February 2025 = £496.65.

Please refer to your local imams for further questions relating to Zakat.
