WHAT IS NISAB?

Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth that must be owned by a muslim before he/she is obligated for zakat.

- For example, the nisab in Selangor is RM14,065.00 (according to Lembaga Zakat Selangor).

So if you’re living in Selangor and your zakatable income is more than RM14,065.00, then you have to pay your zakat!

In general, the nisab for zakat on wealth is equivalent to the price of 85 grams of gold.

her yearly income exceeds the nisab amount, she only needs to start paying her Zakat on Earning after working for a year.

** Nisab and Haul are not applicable for Zakat Fitrah

ZAKAT ON SAVINGS

Your savings are zakatable purely because it serves the same purpose as gold and silver (the nisab of Zakat), and holds purchase power.

Page 21: Zakat vs taxes

FIXED DEPOSIT

Once a fixed deposit account reached exactly one year (cukup haul) and this amount is more than the nisab value, then 2.5% of the total amount must be given as Zakat.

- For example, Maisarah (location : Selangor) opened a fixed deposit account on April 2011. By April 2012, her FD account has accumulated RM5,000. In Selangor, the nisab amount for 2012 is RM14,065.00. Therefore, Miasarah doesn’t need to pay zakat on her FD.

Page 22: Zakat vs taxes

BASIC SAVINGS It is calculated based on the amount of the lowest balance

or the end haul each year for savings:

Savings in One Account Only If the savings account has reached the year-old age and

the lowest balance (after subtracting the amount of interest given in that period) is above the nisab, then one is obliged to pay zakat on savings for that one account.

- Example : Wati (location : Selangor) has a Maybank account. After a year, the lowest balance she has in

her account is RM15,500 (after substracting the interest given by Maybank). For Selangor, the nisab amount

is RM14,065.00. Therefore, she must pay 2.5% of RM15,500 as her zakat (2.5% x RM15,500 = RM387.50).

Page 23: Zakat vs taxes

SAVINGS IN SEVERAL ACCOUNTS If a person has set up several savings accounts,

then the lowest balance of all the savings accounts must be combined to calculate the zakatable wealth.

- For example, Hana (location : Selangor) has two savings accounts, Maybank  and CIMB. She has had both accounts for one year. Lowest balance in Maybank : RM40 (after deducting interest)

Lowest Balance in CIMB : RM600 (after deducting interest) Total of lowest balance in Maybank and CIMB : RM640 (does not exceed nisab, therefore Hana does not need to pay zakat on her savings accounts).
