Eligible deductions
Amounts due now, such as immediate debts and outstanding bills.
Step 5
Nisab and your Zakat year
The threshold is worked out from the price per gram you entered above.

A dedicated Zakat framework is being designed so contributions can be separately designated, accounted for and reported once formal policy is approved. Zakat contributions are already recorded with a distinct Zakat designation in our records.
Global Fund of Palestine does not represent this pathway as Zakat-certified, Sharia-compliant, covered by a 100% Zakat policy, free of costs, or approved by a scholar or advisory body.
