What is zakat al mal?

Zakat al-Mal, often simply referred to as Zakat, is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and a fundamental act of worship. It is a mandatory form of almsgiving, required of all eligible Muslims, serving not only as a means of purifying one's wealth but also as a tool to alleviate poverty and inequality within the Muslim community.

To be liable for Zakat, one must be a Muslim, an adult, in possession of wealth above the Nisab threshold, and have owned this wealth for a lunar year (Hawl). Zakat is not just on cash savings but also includes assets such as gold, silver, investments, and income-generating properties, minus liabilities.
