ZAKAT AL MAL
What is the nissab rate?
Zakât al-mal, one of the five pillars of Islam (along with the shahada, prayer, hajj and fasting in the month of
Ramadan), is a tax on savings.
This is an inalienable right of the poor over the rich.
The Muslim is indebted for it and must obligatorily discharge it, since the amount of his
savings exceed a certain threshold called the “nissab”.
This nissab is indexed to the price of gold or silver.
Concretely, it corresponds to the monetary value of:
85 grams of gold
Where
595 grams of silver
TO KNOW THE PRICE PER GRAM OF GOLD AND SILVER WHICH CHANGES EVERY DAY:

GOLD PRICE TODAY
CURRENT PRICE : 51.13€
Today max 51.46€
Today minimum 50.83€
Today fluctuations €-0.21 (-0.41%)
NISSAB CALCULATION of 12/29/21 WITH GOLD: 85 X 51.13= 4,346.05 euros
CALCUL DU NISSAB du 29/12/21 AVEC L’ARGENT : 595 X 0,65= 386,75 euros
From the moment we exceed 4,346.05 euros (gold price on 29/12/21) of savings we will have to
pay zakat al mal.
How to calculate zakat al mal?
1) CHOOSE A SPECIFIC DAY FROM THE LUNAR CALENDAR:
For example, I choose a date in the lunar calendar: I pay my zakât every 15th of the month
of Shawwal.
2) CALCULATE YOUR ZAKAT AL MAL OVER A YEAR ON SAVINGS:
Thus, every year, on the 15th of the month of Shawwâl, I look at what I own as goods submitted
at the zakât, I estimate their value and I give 2.5% of this value.
Let’s take an example :
I saved 2,000 euros over a lunar year.
The amount of zakât al-mal to be paid is therefore: 2,000 x 0.025 = 50 euros.
Even simpler: just divide the amount saved by 40.
I have to pay 50 euros on the 15th of the month of Shawwal and next year I will recalculate the
amount of my zakat because it depends on my savings for the year which varies from year to year.
What goods are affected by zakat al mal?
All goods that serve as commerce and which are in addition to the savings of the individual.
Indeed a car and a house which are useful for the inhabitants of a house are not
concerned by the zakat but a car or a house or an animal which is intended for sale or rental and who has passed a lunar year then they will have to be taken into account in the calculation of zakat.
For houses for rent, the rent saved for one year will be taken for the calculation of the zakat.
Gold is affected by zakat even the one worn.
The diamond, the pearls and all that is an adornment apart from the gold and the silver are not affected by zakat provided they are not for trade.
No zakat for anything used by man for personal gain whether it is a car, camel, agricultural machine or anything other than gold and silver.
Is there Zakat to be paid on jewelry intended to be worn?
Yes, the Zakât must be paid for the gold of the woman, if it exceeds the Nisâb which is worth twenty Mithqâl, that is to say
85 grams of gold.
If the gold exceeds this Nisâb, it is obligatory to pay the Zakat, whether it is a jewel that she wears regularly or on certain occasions only.
However, if we assume that a woman has jewelry whose value exceeds the Nisab and that his daughters have jewelry whose value does not exceed the Nisab, so there is no Zakat to pay for the jewels of his daughters, because they are the property of the daughters and their value does not exceed the Nisâb.
In fact, jewelry (of the mother and) of the daughters (nor of the daughters among themselves) should not be grouped together, in order to pay Zakat, as each daughter’s property is independent of that of the other daughters.
How to pay zakat al mal?
As for the question whether one should pay Zakat in gold or in cash, we think that there is no harm.
to pay it in specie, and it is not obligatory to pay it in gold, because it is in the interest of those who are entitled to receive silver rather than gold.
Can I pay my Zakat over several months?
Yes, if it is easier for you, you can spread your Zakat payments over the whole year.
Calculate the amount of Zakat you have to pay for the year and divide it by twelve. Check
your calculation at the end of the year. If you underestimated the amount of Zakat you owe pay, be sure to pay the full amount before the start of the new year.
Do I have to pay Zakat for the years I haven’t paid it?
Sometimes we forget to pay Zakat or calculate it incorrectly or even do not know
this pillar of Islam. However, it is never too late to pay Zakat from previous years.
Zakat from previous years is calculated the same way as current Zakat, you will need to however, use the Nissab value of the missed years and not that of this year.
Where does my Zakat go?
Where does my Zakat go?
Seven groups of people can receive Zakat: the poor, the needy, the indebted, the
defenders of the cause of Allah, recent converts to Islam, those who distribute Zakat, travelers and prisoners [The Noble Quran, 9:60].
When you give your Zakat to Dar Al Khair, you can be sure that it will be distributed as
it must. Zakat can be used to improve education, environment, health, safety
food, etc

YOUNG COMPENSATION / ATONEMENT
– What atonement must be made by the one who cannot fast because of illness or the pregnant woman who cannot fast…?
He who can must make up for his fast when he gets better, but those who could only endure it with great difficulty, there is a compensation: feeding a poor person per non-fasting day.
– To whom can compensation be given?
It is permissible to give compensation to any poor Muslim provided that he is not among the people for whom it is obligatory for the person to spend.
That is to say that compensation should not be given to his ascendants (parents, grandparents…), his descendants (children, grandchildren…) or to his wife.
– When can compensation be given to the poor?
The scholars all agree that it is not permissible to give compensation to the poor before the beginning of the month of Ramadan.
They also all agree that it is valid to give it for each day after the dawn of that day has passed.
– How much food should be given to the poor in this case?
The scholars have said that there is no precise quantity which is demanded but that the poor should be given what is usually sufficient for a meal. Either we cook him a dish or we give him raw.
– Is it possible to give money instead of food?
The majority of scholars are of the opinion that it is not valid to give the sum of money which is equivalent to the price of the quantity of food.
On the other hand, if it is difficult to give food directly to the poor then it is possible to give money to another person and charge them with buying food which will then be given to the poor.
