As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, Muslims worldwide prepare to fulfill their religious obligation of Zakat, a fundamental pillar of Islam. By donating 2.5% of their wealth, they contribute to social justice and provide financial support to those in need.

In this regard, the federal government has announced the Nisab for Zakat for the Islamic year 1446 AH, setting the threshold at Rs179,689. This Nisab applies to various financial holdings, including savings accounts, profit and loss sharing accounts, and similar deposits. Individuals meeting or exceeding this amount will be subject to Zakat deductions during Ramadan 2025.
