Understanding your obligation and fulfilling it with ease through ZakathPay
Who is a Zakat Giver?
A Zakat Giver (also called a Muzakki) is any Muslim who possesses wealth above the Nisab threshold for a full lunar year. Giving Zakat is not just a financial act — it is an act of worship and purification of the soul.
"Take from their wealth a charity by which you purify them and cause them increase." — Qur'an 9:103
