What is the 2026 nisab amount?

The 2026 nisab is 80.18 grams of pure gold (approximately ₺240,000) or 561 grams of silver (approximately ₺26,000). The Hanafi school favors the lower (silver) nisab as it benefits more recipients; Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali schools use the gold nisab.

What is the zakat rate?

For cash, gold, silver, commercial goods, and stocks, the zakat rate is 1/40 or 2.5%. If your zakat base is ₺100,000, you pay ₺2,500. Different rates apply to agricultural produce and livestock.

How do I calculate my zakat?

Five steps: (1) List all assets (cash, gold, deposits, stocks, crypto, commercial inventory). (2) Subtract due debts and essential needs. (3) Find net zakatable wealth. (4) Verify it exceeds the nisab. (5) Multiply by 0.025.

Quran 9:60 specifies 8 categories: (1) the poor, (2) the destitute, (3) zakat administrators, (4) those whose hearts are reconciled to Islam, (5) for freeing slaves, (6) those in debt, (7) in the cause of Allah, (8) the wayfarer. Parents, children, spouses, the wealthy, and (per Hanafi school) non-Muslims may not receive zakat.

Is online zakat valid?

Yes, online zakat is valid in all four Sunni schools. What matters is that the funds reach an eligible recipient; physical handover is not required. Bakara 195 distributes your zakat per the Quran 9:60 categories.

When should zakat be paid?

Zakat is due when one lunar year (354 days) has passed on assets that meet the nisab. Many Muslims practically choose Ramadan as their zakat month — this is sunnah and widely practiced. Delaying zakat after it becomes obligatory is not permissible.
