How it is calculated
Pure silver = weight × fineness ÷ 1000. Zakat is due if pure silver ≥ 595 g. Zakat = pure × price per gram × 2.5%.
Example
Inputs: Silver weight = 700 g, Fineness = 925 (sterling), Price of 1 g of pure silver = 5 per g, Zakat rate = 2.5 %. Result: Zakat due: 80.94; Pure silver weight: 647.5 g; Silver value: 3,237.50.
Limits and caveats
- Uses 200 dirham = 595 g of pure silver and 2.5%; some scholars estimate it slightly differently.
- Worn silver jewellery carries the same scholarly difference as gold jewellery.
