Charity does not diminish wealth.
Zakat al-Mal is the annual Zakat on wealth and one of the five pillars of Islam. It is an amanah: a trust and a right owed to those in need.
2.5% of all net Zakatable wealth when the annual condition is met and nisab is reached. Nisab is not deducted.

A Zakat year is one lunar year, about 354 days. Wealth must reach nisab at its start and end. If unsure, read the guidance or ask a qualified adviser.
Use one Islamic lunar year. Nisab is assessed at the start and end. A temporary drop below nisab does not automatically restart the year; losing all Zakatable wealth can. Resolve uncertain annual or insolvency circumstances before confirming Zakat is due.
A required gram price is missing. Supply the price for nisab and any metals valued by weight.

Prices per gram of pure gold and silver determine the nisab threshold and the metal value when you enter a weight.
Loading price basis …
Automatic spot prices are for today and are estimates, not guaranteed resale prices. For earlier dates use documented historical prices. Up to two decimals for amounts, weight and purity; four for gram prices.
Nisab is the minimum threshold for Zakat. We compare your wealth after debt with this threshold.
Nisab is automatic: 612.36 g of silver for cash, silver and mixed wealth; 87.48 g of gold when gold is the only Zakatable asset. Your personal home and car are excluded.

Main reference: Abo Barirah’s guide. This is Imdad’s interpretation, not endorsed by the institute. Carat calculation is a documented addition; uncertain cases need advice.
Agriculture, livestock, bad debts and previous years require separate assessment. Long-term investments need an assessed Zakatable portion.
This is Imdad’s selected calculation profile, not a unanimous rule or certification by the sources. Other scholarly views exempt worn jewellery or treat nisab and debt differently. Qur’an 9:60 and Imdad’s policy concern recipients and distribution.

Qur’an 9:60 describes eight recipient groups. Imdad assesses recipients through local teams and partners before funds are distributed.
See the eight recipient groupsAl-fuqara: people whose limited means do not allow them to meet their basic needs safely and consistently.
Al-masakin: people in severe financial hardship who lack essentials such as food, clothing or safe shelter.
Al-amilina alayha: people formally entrusted with collecting, recording, safeguarding and distributing Zakat responsibly. Although this is one of the eight categories, Imdad does not use Zakat al-Mal funds for its ordinary administration or salaries.
Al-muallafati qulubuhum: people who may receive support for reconciliation, belonging or reassurance in faith, following a qualified religious assessment.
Fi al-riqab: funds used to help free people from slavery, captivity or other severe forms of constraint. Contemporary application requires qualified assessment.
Al-gharimin: people with legitimate debts that they do not have sufficient means to repay and that place them in genuine hardship.
Fi sabilillah: support for purposes understood to fall “in the cause of Allah”. Scholarly interpretations differ, so use must follow a clear and qualified Zakat policy.
Ibn al-sabil: a traveller who is stranded or cut off from their own resources and needs essential help to continue safely or return home.
In northern Gaza, Imdad has provided Zakat al-Mal as cash assistance to families. In Pakistan, recipients have received sewing machines, tools and other equipment to earn a living. Support reflects people’s needs and the conditions of Zakat.
When a gift is marked as Zakat al-Mal, it is kept separate from other donations. Imdad does not deduct ordinary administration or salaries from this fund.
Your donation is recorded specifically as Zakat al-Mal.
