وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَارْكَعُوا مَعَ الرَّاكِعِينَ

“And establish prayer and give zakah and bow with those who bow [in worship and obedience].” — Sahih International

நிறுவும் விதி: Zakah is repeatedly paired with Salah as a core act of worship, not an optional add-on.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنفِقُوا مِن طَيِّبَاتِ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ وَمِمَّا أَخْرَجْنَا لَكُم مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ ۖ وَلَا تَيَمَّمُوا الْخَبِيثَ مِنْهُ تُنفِقُونَ وَلَسْتُم بِآخِذِيهِ إِلَّا أَن تُغْمِضُوا فِيهِ ۚ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ غَنِيٌّ حَمِيدٌ

“O you who have believed, spend from the good things which you have earned and from that which We have produced for you from the earth. And do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending [from that] while you would not take it [yourself] except with closed eyes. And know that Allah is Free of need and Praiseworthy.” — Sahih International

நிறுவும் விதி: Zakah/charity should be given from wealth of genuine value, not from what one would not want oneself.

إِنَّمَا الصَّدَقَاتُ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ وَالْمَسَاكِينِ وَالْعَامِلِينَ عَلَيْهَا وَالْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَفِي الرِّقَابِ وَالْغَارِمِينَ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ ۖ فَرِيضَةً مِّنَ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ

“Zakah expenditures are only for the poor and for the needy and for those employed to collect [zakah] and for bringing hearts together [to Islam] and for freeing captives [or slaves] and for those in debt and for the cause of Allah and for the stranded traveler — an obligation imposed by Allah. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.” — Sahih International

நிறுவும் விதி: Defines the eight categories eligible to receive Zakah.

خُذْ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ صَدَقَةً تُطَهِّرُهُمْ وَتُزَكِّيهِم بِهَا وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ إِنَّ صَلَاتَكَ سَكَنٌ لَّهُمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

“Take, [O Muhammad], from their wealth a charity by which you purify them and cause them increase, and invoke [Allah's blessings] upon them. Indeed, your invocations are reassurance for them. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.” — Sahih International

நிறுவும் விதி: Zakah purifies and increases wealth — a description of its spiritual function, not merely a transfer.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الْأَحْبَارِ وَالرُّهْبَانِ لَيَأْكُلُونَ أَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ بِالْبَاطِلِ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۗ وَالَّذِينَ يَكْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ وَلَا يُنفِقُونَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ ۝ يَوْمَ يُحْمَىٰ عَلَيْهَا فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ فَتُكْوَىٰ بِهَا جِبَاهُهُمْ وَجُنُوبُهُمْ وَظُهُورُهُمْ ۖ هَٰذَا مَا كَنَزْتُمْ لِأَنفُسِكُمْ فَذُوقُوا مَا كُنتُمْ تَكْنِزُونَ

“O you who have believed, indeed many of the scholars and monks devour the wealth of people unjustly and avert [them] from the way of Allah. And those who hoard gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah — give them tidings of a painful punishment. The Day when it will be heated in the fire of Hell and seared therewith will be their foreheads, their flanks, and their backs, [it will be said], "This is what you hoarded for yourselves, so taste what you used to hoard."” — Sahih International

நிறுவும் விதி: A severe warning concerning hoarding gold and silver without fulfilling the rights (including Zakah) due on it.

When the Prophet ﷺ sent Mu'adh ibn Jabal (رضي الله عنه) to Yemen, he instructed him to inform the people that Allah had made Zakah obligatory upon their wealth, to be taken from their rich and given to their poor.

நிறுவும் விதி: The basic principle of Zakah: collected from the wealthy, distributed to the poor.

Part of the detailed Zakah schedule transmitted from the instructions of the Prophet ﷺ, covering minimum thresholds (Nisab) for silver and specific livestock categories.

நிறுவும் விதி: A source for the classical silver Nisab (200 dirhams) referenced throughout this calculator.

Abu Bakr (رضي الله عنه), as caliph, wrote out the Zakah schedule exactly as the Prophet ﷺ had instructed, detailing the applicable rates and thresholds for gold, silver, camels, sheep/goats, and other livestock categories.

நிறுவும் விதி: The primary source for the 2.5% (one-fortieth) rate on qualifying monetary wealth, and for livestock Zakat schedules (implemented separately — see the Livestock calculator).

Corroborates that no Zakah is due on silver holdings below five awqiyah (200 dirhams).

நிறுவும் விதி: Corroboration of the classical silver Nisab threshold.

On produce watered by rain or rivers (natural irrigation), one-tenth (10%) is due; on produce watered by artificial means (e.g. bucket or machine irrigation), one-twentieth (5%) is due.

நிறுவும் விதி: The differing Zakah rates for agricultural produce based on irrigation method (implemented separately — see the Agricultural calculator).

A severe warning that any owner of gold or silver who does not pay what is due on it will, on the Day of Judgment, have that wealth heated and used to brand their side, forehead, and back.

நிறுவும் விதி: Corroborates the Qur'anic warning (9:34–35) concerning gold/silver on which Zakah has not been paid.

The Prophet ﷺ instructed Mu'adh ibn Jabal (رضي الله عنه), when sent to Yemen, to take one Tabi' (a one-year-old bovine) from every thirty cattle, and one Musinnah (a two-year-old female bovine) from every forty.

நிறுவும் விதி: The source for the cattle Zakah schedule (implemented in the Livestock calculator). Held to a slightly lower evidentiary tier than the sheep/goat and camel schedule above, since it is not narrated in Bukhari or Muslim themselves.
