Zakat is obligatory only for Muslims whose wealth exceeds a certain threshold, known as the Nisab.<\/b> The Nisab<\/a> is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must possess before Zakat becomes obligatory.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

When calculating Zakat in Canada, it\u2019s crucial to convert these values into Canadian dollars using the current market prices for gold and silver.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, Zakat is calculated annually, ensuring that the wealth is purified regularly in accordance with Islamic rules.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
