Zakat on gold

Zakat must be paid on 2.5% of the value of the gold that you own.

A gram of gold costs £47.32, which equates to £1.18 zakat per gram.

For example, if you own 50 grams of gold jewelry, you would owe £59.15 zakat (50 grams x £1.18).

Zakat is our Sacred Duty

Donating your Zakat is not merely charity. It is worship. It is our sacred duty. It’s about responsibility and about fulfilling a right that Allah has placed upon us.

Your zakat enables us to save lives

Your zakat has funded some of our crucial work with people and communities living in disaster and war zones: drought and famine-struck countries across East Africa; communities affected by conflict in Yemen; and families in war-torn Syria struggling to survive one day to the next.

Your zakat has supported communities to build sustainable livelihoods in the face of climate change and to build better lives for vulnerable orphans and families across the globe.

Alhamdulillah, your zakat has the power to transform people’s lives. Help make this happen. Give your zakat for the love of Allah.
