What is Nisab?

The threshold

Nisab is the minimum wealth a Muslim must possess before Zakat becomes obligatory. If your net wealth exceeds this threshold for a full lunar year — the hawl — Zakat is due at 2.5% on the completion date.

Why it matters

Many Muslims calculate their Zakat each Ramadan, but Zakat is due on the day the hawl completes — the anniversary of when your wealth first crossed nisab. That date is unique to you. Knowing it from your actual bank history ensures you calculate on the right balance, every year.

Common questions

View all FAQs
Silver standard vs Gold standard — which should I use?+
Scholars differ on whether zakat should be based on the gold or silver nisab. In the past, gold and silver were close in value. Today, silver is much cheaper, which makes the silver nisab much lower than the gold nisab. Those who prefer the silver nisab (including many Hanafi scholars) say it is better because more people will qualify to pay zakat, which helps more poor people. Those who prefer the gold nisab say gold better reflects real wealth in today's economy. In practice, many contemporary scholars suggest using the silver nisab because it is the safer and more cautious option, ensuring that more people fulfill their zakat duty.
What is a hawl, and does wealth need to stay above nisab the whole year?+
The hawl is a complete lunar year that must pass with your wealth above nisab¹. Zakat becomes due on each annual anniversary of the date your wealth first reached nisab. ¹ Difference of opinion exists regarding this between the madhabs: • Hanafi view: Zakat is due if wealth is at or above nisab at the start and end of the year. Temporary drops during the year are ignored (unless wealth falls to zero or negative). • Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali view: Wealth must stay at or above nisab for the entire year. If it drops below at any time, the year resets, and a new hawl begins only when wealth returns to nisab.
