Zakat is due on specific types of wealth, known as zakatable assets. These assets include:
• Gold and silver: If you own at least 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver, you must include their value when calculating zakat.
• Bank accounts: Any savings, current accounts, or other forms of stored wealth are zakatable.
• Cash at home: Money you have in hand should also be considered.
• Investments and shares: Profitable holdings are part of your zakatable assets.
• Money owed to you: Any debts owed by others that you expect to recover.
The zakat you need to pay is 2.5% of your zakatable assets, provided their total value exceeds the minimum amount (nisab). The nisab is equal to the value of either 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver.
