Importance of Paying Zakat on Silver
Zakat on silver becomes obligatory (wajib) when the amount of silver you own reaches the Nisab threshold and has been held for one lunar year. The Prophet ﷺ mentioned both gold and silver when teaching about Zakat, showing their importance in wealth purification and social justice.

“And those who hoard gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah – give them tidings of a painful punishment.” (Qur’an 9:34–35)
Paying Zakat on silver is not just an individual duty, but a social responsibility. It ensures the circulation of wealth, supports needy families, and strengthens community welfare.
