In this article, we discuss zakat al-mal<\/a> in the United Arab Emirates; what its nisab is, its key rulings, and how zakat al-mal is calculated in the United Arab Emirates.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Zakat al-mal in the UAE<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

The UAE implements zakat al-mal as defined by Islamic Sharia; zakat al-mal is obligatory for every free Muslim if their al-mal reaches the nisab; and the nisab for zakat al-mal is the equivalent of 85 grams of gold.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Allah says in Surah At-Tawbah verse 103: <\/span>“Take from their al-mal charity to purify and sanctify them with it, and pray for them; indeed, your prayers are a source of security for them; Allah is Hearing, Knowing.”<\/b> This means that discharging zakat al-mal is an obligation for Muslims, and it must be performed flawlessly.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Zakat al-mal is an amount of zakatable al-mal that is discharged after a Muslim\u2019s al-mal reaches the nisab threshold. Various forms of al-mal that are zakatable include:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a01- Cash 2- Gold 3- Silver 4- Trade goods<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This zakat is also obligatory on livestock including sheep, cattle, and camels.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Zakat al-mal Rate in the UAE<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0The rate of zakat al-mal<\/a> in the UAE, as stated by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), is “one-quarter of ten percent”; which is equivalent to 2.5%.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“One-quarter of ten percent” is the value to be discharged from the total al-mal, meaning that after calculating the zakatable al-mal they wish to discharge zakat for, the payer discharges zakat at a rate of 2.5%.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How to Calculate the Nisab for Zakat al-mal in UAE Dirhams<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0The zakat al-mal rate is 2.5%, and the payer can easily calculate the zakat they wish to discharge.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Example: If a payer wants to discharge zakat on 10,000, they can calculate their zakat as follows: Divide the amount by 100, and the result is then multiplied by 2.5. So, the calculation is: 10,000 \u00f7 100 = 100 100 \u00d7 2.5 = 250 dirhams.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Best Zakat Calculator for al-mal in the UAE<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

\u00a0The best zakat calculator in the United Arab Emirates is the “Zakat Fund.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Through it, you can calculate zakat al-mal and all types of zakat, whether it is zakat al-mal or zakat on livestock or zakat on gold, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also, through the zakat calculator, you can choose the type of year in which the nisab is calculated, whether it is Hijri or Gregorian, as the al-mal must have been held for a complete year to reach the nisab threshold.<\/span><\/p>\n
