What is Zakat?
Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam and is an obligatory form of charity for eligible Muslims. If a person’s wealth reaches or exceeds the Nisab threshold and remains above it for one lunar year, they are generally required to pay 2.5% of their qualifying wealth as Zakat.
Zakat helps support those in need while promoting fairness, compassion, and the proper distribution of wealth within society.
