What Is Zakat and When Is It Due?
Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam and an obligatory form of giving for Muslims who meet its conditions.
For many forms of Zakat-eligible wealth, the standard rate is 2.5%. Zakat generally becomes due when your qualifying wealth reaches Nisab, the minimum threshold, and the required lunar year (Hawl) has passed.
Zakat is not limited to Ramadan. Your obligation follows your own Zakat due date.
Unlike Zakat, Sadaqah is voluntary charity that can be given at any time to support a broader range of charitable causes.

Who Can Receive Zakat?
The Qur'an identifies eight categories of Zakat recipients in Surah At-Tawbah (9:60), including people experiencing poverty, those in need, people in debt, and stranded travelers.
Zakat can provide essential assistance to eligible people affected by poverty, conflict, and displacement.
