Zakatزكاة
A pillar of Islam. Purify your wealth by giving 2.5% of it to the people it is owed to.
Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. Muslims who meet the nisab threshold give 2.5% of their qualifying wealth each year. Your Zakat reaches only the categories of recipient defined in Surah At Tawbah (9:60). On UMMA that means it is restricted to Zakat eligible campaigns, and you can see which campaigns those are before you give.

Common Questions
Is my Zakat distributed only to eligible recipients?
Yes. UMMA distributes Zakat exclusively to the categories defined in Surah At Tawbah (9:60), and our field teams verify eligibility before distribution. On this site your Zakat can only be applied to campaigns marked Zakat eligible.
How do I know how much I owe?
Use the Zakat calculator. It works out your net qualifying wealth, compares it to the nisab threshold, and takes 2.5% of the balance.
When is Zakat due?
Zakat is due once a lunar year has passed on wealth that has stayed above the nisab threshold. Many people pay during Ramadan, but any date works as long as you keep it consistent year to year.
