Zakat is the fourth pillar of Islam that involves paying mandatory charitable contributions on certain possessions. It has been a practice in Islam since the time of Prophet Muhammad. The Quran and hadiths emphasize the importance of zakat for spiritual and social benefits. Zakat must be paid on wealth such as gold, silver, cash, and agricultural products if they meet the minimum threshold and have been owned for at least one year. It is to be distributed to the poor, needy, debtors, administrators of zakat funds, and those whose hearts are to be reconciled. Failure to pay zakat is punishable and it is meant to purify wealth and hearts as well as promote social welfare

• Exceeding One's Basic Needs
• The lapse of a full year
• Forbidding Twice Payment of Zakat at the Same Year
• Public wealth and charitable properties

21. •Full Ownership
• The giver must purely own it.
• No Zakat is due on the property which is Dimar.
• Some Companions are reported to have said, "Zakat is not due on a
Dimar property, nor on the deferred amount of dower nor on the debt
owed by an insolvent person.’’

22.  Real growth of wealth
that is caused by its producing
offspring, or by gain realized from
trade.
 Assumed growth
liability of property, such as gold,
silver and currencies to increase when
exploited in trade.
No Zakat is due on properties that
are not liable to real or assumed
growth.

23. •Reaching Nisab
(Minimum Amount Liable to Zakat)
• Zakat becomes due upon reaching the Nisab or more
than it
• Nisab of gold counted for Zakat is twenty dinars (85
grams) of fine gold, while the Nisab of silver is two
hundred dirhams (595 grams) of fine silver.
• The Nisab of merchandise is an amount whose value
equals eighty-five grams of gold.

24. •Exceeding One's Basic Needs
• Properties owned to meet one's
basic requirements are excluded
from Zakat.
• The same applies to the money
dedicated to the repayment of
debts, since the debtor is in
need of this money to relieve
himself from imprisonment and
humiliation.

25. •The lapse of a full year
• A property is not counted for Zakat
unless after the lapse of a full lunar year
right from the day it reaches the Nisab.

"The nation that does not give Zakat, Allah will bring about a drought on them
(i.e. necessities of life will become scarce)."

wealth, I am your treasure."
