According to Ahlul Bait (as), zakat is only obligatory on 9 specific items:

A. Gold & Silver: Obligatory on coins reaching the threshold (Nisab).
Gold: 87.48g | Silver: 612g | Rate: 2.5%

B. Business Goods: 2.5% of the total value of business inventory held for one year.

C. Livestock: Specific rates apply for Camels (5+), Cows (30+), and Sheep (40+).

D. Crops: Wheat, Barley, Dates, and Raisins (10% if rainwater, 5% if manual irrigation).

According to Ahlul Bait (as), zakat is not obligatory on salary, business income, or general savings.

However, Khums is obligatory if the saved money remains unused for a year. Please choose the Khums option from the dropdown above to calculate this.

This is the obligatory charity due on the night of Eid-ul-Fitr for every household member.

Please choose the Fitrah option from the dropdown above to calculate your total.

House & Car: No zakat on personal-use residence or vehicles.

Jewelry: If gold/silver jewelry exceeds nisab (87.48g gold / 612g silver), zakat is due.

Savings: No zakat on savings, but Khums (20%) is obligatory after one year.

• Fuqara (Poor) & Masakeen (Needy)
• Indebted individuals in financial hardship
• Religious education institutions

Note: Sadat (Prophet's descendants) cannot receive zakat but can receive Khums.

Khums means “one-fifth” (20%) and is an Islamic obligation mentioned in the Quran (Surah Al-Anfal 8:41).

According to Ahlul Bait (as), khums applies to savings, business profits, minerals, and treasures remaining after your yearly expenses.

A. Surplus Annual Income: 20% of savings remaining after fulfilling all expenses (food, rent, education, etc.).

B. Minerals & Resources: 20% of extracted value (gold, oil, etc.) after expenses.

C. Treasure Trove: 20% on found buried wealth.

D. Mixed Wealth: To purify wealth where Lawful (Halal) and Illegitimate (Haram) income are mixed unknowingly.

E. Land: When a non-Muslim buys land from a Muslim in an Islamic country.

• Every adult Muslim (Baligh) with surplus income.
• Profit-making businesses and companies.
• Professionals, traders, and farmers who save money after covering living costs.

Khums is divided into two equal parts (50/50):

Sahm al-Imam (50%): Used for Islamic education, religious propagation, and welfare projects under the guidance of Marja-e-Taqleed.

Sahm al-Sadat (50%): Specifically for poor and needy Sayyids (descendants of Prophet Muhammad PBUH).

Khums is paid annually on a fixed date (e.g., 1st Ramadhan). It must be given to a Mujtahid or an authorized organization.

Wealth becomes "Ghayr-mubah" (impure). Use of such wealth is considered sinful, and the amount remains a debt upon the individual.
