How to Calculate Zakat with Hayat Foundation
Zakat, the third Pillar of Islam, is not just a payment but a duty that every eligible Muslim must fulfil.
The Hayat Foundation distributes your Zakat to those who need it the most. From feeding the poor through our ongoing programs to building homes, schools, and healthcare facilities – your money will be used to change lives and leave a lasting impact around the globe. We strive to distribute your Zakat as quickly as possible, continually driven by the goal to bring hope and save lives where it is most desperately needed.
ZAKAT RATE
The 2.5% Zakat rate is obligatory for all Muslims whose total possessions (cash, gold, silver, shares) meet or exceed the nisab threshold.
Nisab values
“My mercy encompasses all things, and so I shall decree it for those who are reverent, give the Zakat and those who believe in Our revelation.”
The Qur’an (7:156)
