About Us - Zakat Calculation

Our Mission

Despite centuries of detailed Islamic jurisprudence on zakat, most Muslims still struggle to calculate their obligation accurately. Existing tools were either oversimplified, lacked scholarly verification, or didn't cover modern asset types.

So we built what we wished existed: a calculator that combines scholarly rigor with genuine usability.

"My aim is to share my expertise in Islamic jurisprudence so that everyone can calculate their Zakat with the certainty that they are adhering to our principles."

Our Methodology

Classical Heritage

The core rules follow established jurisprudence from the four madhabs (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali). Whether calculating Zakat on livestock or trade goods, the underlying principles come from centuries of scholarly consensus.

Contemporary Application

For modern questions – stocks, mutual funds, retirement accounts, business Zakat, and cryptocurrency – we integrate AAOIFI standards and practical guidelines from Kuwait Zakat House and similar institutions.

Our Commitment

Precision

We don't believe in 'good enough' for religious obligations. Every formula and threshold has been carefully researched.

Transparency

This isn't a black box. We show you how your Zakat was calculated and which methodology was applied.

Neutrality

We're not affiliated with any particular institution or commercial interest. Our only agenda is accuracy.

Why Kuwait Zakat House?

Kuwait Zakat House has been operating since 1982, making it one of the oldest and most experienced Zakat institutions of our time. Their guidelines have been refined through decades of real-world application, handling millions of calculations.

Their methodology represents a careful balance between the four major Sunni schools, selecting the most appropriate ruling for each situation based on evidence and practical consideration.

Why AAOIFI Standards?

Classical jurisprudence provides the foundation, but modern finance has introduced asset types that didn't exist when those texts were written. How do you calculate Zakat on publicly traded stocks? Retirement accounts? Cryptocurrency?

AAOIFI brings together leading scholars and financial experts to develop standards that bridge classical principles and contemporary realities. Their Zakat Standard provides detailed guidance on modern investment vehicles.
