The Nisab is the minimum wealth threshold for Zakat eligibility. Most scholars recommend using the silver standard as it results in a lower threshold, meaning more people can benefit from Zakat.
Your net assets are below the Nisab threshold. You are not required to pay Zakat at this time, but voluntary charity (Sadaqah) is always rewarded.
Key concepts to help you fulfill your Zakat obligation with confidence.
Zakat is the third pillar of Islam — an obligatory act of worship requiring Muslims to give 2.5% of their qualifying wealth annually to those in need.
Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must possess before Zakat becomes obligatory. It is based on the value of 85g of gold or 595g of silver.
Zakat is due once a full lunar year (Hawl) has passed since your wealth first reached the Nisab threshold. Many Muslims choose to pay during Ramadan.
