What is the Nisab threshold for Zakat in Pakistan (2024–2026)?

The Nisab threshold is 7.5 Tolas (87.48 grams) for Gold or 52.5 Tolas (612.36 grams) for Silver. If your net zakatable wealth (cash, gold, silver, business inventory, minus short-term debts) meets or exceeds the silver Nisab threshold for one lunar year (Hawl), 2.5% Zakat is obligatory.

Why is Silver Nisab recommended over Gold Nisab by majority scholars?

In the Hanafi school and classical jurisprudence, when assets consist of mixed wealth (cash + gold + silver + merchandise), the lower Nisab threshold (Silver ~52.5 Tola) is adopted because it maximizes charity for the poor and ensures greater social welfare.

Are personal use items like homes, personal cars, and clothing subject to Zakat?

No. Primary residential houses, personal family vehicles, everyday clothing, household furniture, and essential tools of trade are 100% exempt from Zakat as they are categorized as essential living necessities (Hajat-e-Asliyya).

How is Zakat calculated on 22K and 21K Gold Jewelry?

Convert the weight of 22K gold (91.66% pure) or 21K gold (87.5% pure) into pure 24K equivalent by multiplying with the purity ratio, multiply by today’s 24K gold rate, and calculate 2.5% on the net value.
