Fitraana is also known as Sadaqat-ul-Fitr, is a complementary charitable donation for every financially capable Muslim at the end of Ramadan. Fitraana must be paid before the Eid prayer and if you can, then you should give more than the minimum amount to support the less fortunate people.

Zakat is a compulsory charity in Islam. It became obligatory in the second year of the Hijri calendar. Any Muslim who owns wealth above a set threshold (called nisab) must pay 2.5% (zakat percentage). This threshold is often linked to the value of silver or gold (zakat nisab 2025).

Who Must Pay Zakat?

Every adult, sane Muslim with wealth above nisab owes Zakat . It is not given to parents, children, or a spouse. Opinions vary on giving it to non-Muslims. If your wealth is below nisab, then zakat is not due.

Zakat on Gold

To calculate zakat on gold , find its current market value, then pay 2.5%. For example, if 1 tola of gold costs 200,000 PKR, you pay 2.5% of that amount—5,000 PKR . Use a reliable zakat calculator to speed up the process.

Zakat on Cash

Cash is also included. If you have 1 lakh rupees and held it for a lunar year, you owe 2.5% (2,500 PKR). Combine cash, gold, silver, and any business goods, then apply 2.5%.

Zakat Deduction & Forms

Banks in Pakistan may deduct Zakat on savings automatically. It usually does not apply to current accounts. If you do not want automatic deduction, you file a zakat declaration form.
