"The fourth pillar of Islâm is Zakâh. Zakâh is a Mâlî Ibâdah (a worship fulfilled with wealth) performed annually. Zakâh is to give one-fortieth (2.5%) of one’s wealth annually to one of the eight classes of people specified in Qur’ân Al-Karîm."

"An adult, sane, free and debtless Muslim who is in possession of the Nisâb amount of wealth, in excess of their basic needs for a complete lunar year is obliged to pay the Zakâh."

"Nisâb is a measure set by our religion for the obligation of Zakâh. The Nisâb threshold is reached when a person owns, beyond their basic needs, 20 Mithqal (80.18 grams) of gold, or the equivalent in money or trade goods."

-The calculation follows the Maghshush rule (مغشوش). -Maghshush means gold or silver that is mixed with a less valuable metal. -An alloy mixed with copper is considered gold if it contains more gold than copper, and silver if it contains more silver. The same method applies when gold or silver is mixed with other substances. -For the benefit of those in need, it is recommended and exemplary to calculate and pay the Zakâh using this method.
