Zakat is mandatory. The stress doesn't have to be.

Every year, the same three things get in the way.

01

"What exactly counts?"

Gold, savings, investments, business assets… the rules differ by school of thought and it adds up fast.

02

"When is my zakat date?"

Your lunar year anniversary is different from the calendar year. Easy to forget, impossible to guess.

03

"Not this again…"

Re-entering all your assets from scratch, every single year. Hours of work that should take minutes.

We built Zaqat to eliminate all three.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about zakat, the app, and how it all works.

Zaqat totals your zakatable assets and subtracts eligible liabilities based on your selected school of fiqh. The app now supports both Sunni and Ja'fari (Twelver Shia) logic with separate calculation rules, nisab handling, and references.

Zaqat supports all four Sunni madhabs (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali), a 'General' Sunni option, and Ja'fari fiqh. Each option applies its own rulings on zakatable assets, liability deductions, and nisab treatment.

Yes. Manual asset entry and full zakat calculation are free forever, with no credit card required. Paid plans unlock premium features like Plaid bank sync, reminders, household mode, and CSV tools, with Zakat Pro starting at $5.99/month.

Absolutely. Our free zakat calculator lets you enter your assets and debts to get an instant estimate. No sign-up, no email, nothing. When you're ready for a more precise calculation with bank syncing, detailed asset breakdowns, year-over-year tracking, and household support, you can create a free account.

The nisab is the minimum wealth threshold that makes zakat obligatory. It is commonly measured by the value of 85 grams of gold or 595 grams of silver. Zaqat uses live gold and silver prices to calculate the current nisab automatically.

Yes. Zaqat's Household Mode lets you track zakat for your spouse, dependents, and extended family. Each member gets individual calculations, and you can view a combined household total.

Zaqat uses encryption in transit and at rest, row-level security, rate limiting, and secure auth controls. Sensitive banking credentials are handled by Plaid (read-only access), and payment details are handled by Stripe. For a detailed breakdown, open the .

Shariah compliance under review

Our zakat calculation methodology (including madhab-specific rules, nisab and hawl treatment, asset categorization, and debt deductions) is undergoing an independent review by an authoritative Islamic scholar. The goal is to verify that what the app computes aligns with established fiqh before any claim of Shariah certification.

Until that review is complete, calculations remain grounded in published sources (including AAOIFI Shariah Standards and classical madhab references). This tool is educational and does not replace personal advice from a scholar you trust.
