How to Calculate Zakat the Right Way | R...

YAQEEN INSTITUTE
About this episode

If you’re unsure whether you owe zakat or how to pay it correctly, this practical guide lays it all out.

Zakat is the third pillar of Islam and the twin of salah.

In this brief but essential crash course, Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy dives into the key technicalities: who must pay, how much, and what counts. He covers everything from the nisab threshold to the 2.5% rule (and when it’s 2.6%), as well as how to calculate your savings, investments, business assets, or retirement plans.

“The right of the poor is in your pocket right now.” — Sh. Mohammad Elshinawy
