Gold Zakat Rules & Tips
Frequently Asked Questions
The gold nisab is 85 grams of pure gold (24K). If your gold reaches this amount or more and a full Hijri year has passed since you acquired it, zakat of 2.5% of its value becomes obligatory.
Scholars differ on this. The majority (Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali) hold that jewelry worn regularly is exempt if within customary limits. The Hanafi school requires zakat on all gold reaching nisab. It is advised to consult a trusted scholar.
Pure gold is calculated by multiplying weight by the karat ratio to 24. For example: 100g of 21K = 100 x (21/24) = 87.5g pure gold. And 18K = 100 x (18/24) = 75g pure gold.
Gold zakat is due when a full Hijri year passes from when the gold reached nisab. It can be paid in cash at current market value or from the gold itself. It is also permissible to pay it early before the year is complete.
Yes, according to the majority of scholars, gold is combined with silver, cash, and trade goods to complete the nisab. If your gold alone doesn't reach nisab but combined with your other wealth it does, zakat becomes due on all of it.
