F.A.Q
Zakat is an obligatory charity in Islam that requires eligible Muslims to give 2.5% of certain types of wealth once it reaches the Nisab and has been held for one lunar year.
Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a person must own before Zakat becomes obligatory. Samafale Fund uses the gold-based Nisab, equal to the value of 85 grams of gold, updated regularly.
Zakat is not due on personal-use items such as:
SO:Zakada lagama bixiyo:
