"And establish prayer and give Zakat, and whatever good you put forward for yourselves – you will find it with Allah." (Qur'an, 2:110)

Every adult Muslim who meets the requirements of nisab and hawl in a calendar year must pay Zakat Al-Maal for that year.

Zakat Al-Maal is due one year after your wealth first reached or exceeded the nisab. You can pay it at any time during or after that lunar year.

Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must possess before they are liable to pay Zakat Al-Maal. It is typically calculated using the value of gold or silver.

The silver standard is often used as it is lower than the gold standard, making more people eligible to pay Zakat Al-Maal and ensuring broader support for those in need.

Zakat Al-Maal applicable assets include cash, gold, silver, business stock, shares, property held for investment, and other wealth held for one lunar year above the nisab.

Zakat is the general term for the obligatory charity that is one of the five pillars of Islam, and it includes more than one type of giving. Zakat al-Maal is the specific form paid annually on accumulated wealth, such as savings, gold, and business assets, once it meets nisab and hawl. So Zakat al-Maal is one category within Zakat.
