In Kashmir, Zakat can be given to orphans, widows, refugees, families affected by poverty, medical patients, and disaster victims. It must go to those who fall under the eight categories mentioned in the Qur’an (Surah At-Tawbah 9:60).
3. How do I calculate my Zakat correctly?

Use our Zakat Calculator for an accurate and easy calculation.
4. What is the current Nisab value for Zakat?
The Nisab value is based on the price of 612.36g of silver or 87.48g of gold. For example if using silver and 1g costs £0.60 → Nisab = £367.41. If using gold and 1g costs £50 → Nisab = £4,374.

Zakat is obligatory and has specific rules on who gives and receives it. Sadaqah is voluntary charity given at any time, for any amount, to anyone in need. Both bring immense blessings, but Zakat is a required duty for eligible Muslims.

Zakat is due once a year, based on the lunar (Hijri) year. It becomes payable when your wealth has been above the Nisab threshold for a full lunar year. Many Muslims choose Ramadan to pay their Zakat for extra blessings.
