Silver sets the lower threshold, so most scholars suggest using it.

Long-term mortgages usually don't count. Ask a scholar if you're unsure.
A quiet way to put things right.
Zakat is one of the pillars of the faith and an act of worship you give once a year. If your wealth sits above the Nisab threshold, you give 2.5% of your qualifying assets to people who need it.
Zakat can only go to eight kinds of people. Most of what CBB Canada does is built around those same groups, so your Zakat can pass through almost any of our causes. You decide which ones.
The 8 eligible categories
- The poor (Al-Fuqara)
- The needy (Al-Masakin)
- Zakat administrators
- Those whose hearts are to be reconciled
- Freeing those in bondage
- Those burdened by debt
- In the cause of God
- The stranded traveller
Your Zakat, put to work.
Send your Zakat to the eligible programs that matter most to you, like emergency food, clean water, orphan and widow support, medical care, or relief for families who have lost their homes. Or leave the choice to us and we'll send it where the need is greatest. Either way, it reaches the people the eight categories were meant to protect.
Give your Zakat with confidence.
Every dollar reaches someone who qualifies. Work out what you owe, pick where it goes, and purify your wealth. It only takes a few minutes.
