Zakat in the UAE: A Complete Guide
What is Zakat?
Zakat is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, a mandatory charitable contribution for all Muslims who meet the necessary criteria of wealth. In the UAE, it acts as a form of social security, purifying one's wealth and supporting those in need.
Understanding Nisab
Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must possess for a full lunar year before they are liable to pay Zakat. It is defined by the value of 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver. Zakat is payable at a rate of 2.5% on wealth exceeding this threshold.
Zakatable Assets
- Cash & Savings: Money in bank accounts, cash on hand, and savings bonds.
- Gold & Silver: Jewelry (if for investment/saving) and bullion.
- Business Assets: Value of trade goods and inventory intended for sale.
- Stocks & Investments: Market value of shares and returns on investments.
- Exemptions: Personal items like your primary home, car, clothing, and furniture are generally not subject to Zakat.
How to Pay Zakat in the UAE
You can pay Zakat directly to eligible recipients or through trusted official channels in the UAE, such as the Zakat Fund, Emirates Red Crescent, or Dubai Charity Association. Many of these organizations offer online payment portals for convenience.
