Frequently Asked Questions
To calculate Zakat on gold, first check if your total gold holdings reach the Nisab threshold (87.48 grams or 7.5 tolas of pure gold). If they do, and you have owned them for one lunar year, then Zakat becomes obligatory. The formula is:
(Total Gold Value × 2.5%) = Zakat Payable
Example: If your gold is worth PKR 1,000,000, then Zakat = 25,000.
Yes. If you own 7.5 tolas (≈ 87.48g) or more, Zakat is wajib (obligatory). This is the minimum Nisab limit set for gold, based on Islamic rulings.
Zakat is 2.5% of the value of 1 tola gold.
Example: If 1 tola gold = PKR 240,000, then Zakat = PKR 6,000.
1 kg = 1000g = about 85 tolas.
Zakat = 2.5% of current market value of 1kg gold.
Example: If 1kg gold = PKR 24,000,000 → Zakat = PKR 600,000.
200g is above Nisab (87.48g), so Zakat applies.
Formula: 200g × market price per gram × 2.5%.
Example: If 1g gold = PKR 24,000, then total = 4,800,000 → Zakat = 120,000.
The minimum is 87.48 grams (≈ 7.5 tolas). If you have less than this, no Zakat is due unless combined with silver or other assets crossing Nisab.
Yes, according to the majority of scholars (Hanafi, Shafi, Hanbali), Zakat applies to all gold jewelry if it reaches Nisab and one lunar year passes, whether it’s worn or stored. Some scholars (Maliki opinion) exempt small personal use, but the safer opinion is to pay.
Yes. Zakat is annual, meaning you must pay every year as long as you own the gold and it remains above Nisab.
Yes. Zakat applies to all gold holdings, whether worn, unused, stored, or kept as savings.
You cannot delay Zakat without a valid reason. If you don’t have cash, you may:
Sell part of the gold, OR
Give gold itself as Zakat.
Not paying Zakat is a major sin, as warned in Qur’an (9:34-35).
Zakat = 2.5% of 1 tola value.
Example: If 1 tola = PKR 240,000 → Zakat = PKR 6,000.
For 22k gold, first find the market value of 22k per gram. Then multiply by total weight. Apply 2.5%.
Example: 100g of 22k gold × PKR 22,000 per gram = 2,200,000 → Zakat = 55,000.
Yes, Zakat applies to all purities of gold (24k, 22k, 21k, 18k) as long as the total value crosses Nisab. The calculation is always based on current market price.
As per Islamic rulings, Nisab is 87.48 grams (≈ 7.5 tolas of pure gold). The actual Nisab value in currency (PKR, USD, etc.) depends on the gold rate of 2025.
No. Zakat is not due until you reach 7.5 tolas (87.48 grams). At exactly 7 tolas, you are below Nisab, so Zakat is not wajib.
Yes, if it is gold and your total gold holdings meet Nisab, you must pay Zakat on it, regardless of sentimental or personal use.
Up to 7.5 tolas (87.48g) is Zakat-free. Once you cross this threshold and a lunar year passes, Zakat is obligatory.
