1. The Lunar Year Zakat is calculated according to the lunar year. Counting starts when the amount of money attains the Nisab (the minimum amount on which Zakat should be paid). This includes all kinds of Zakat except Zakat on agriculture, fruits, mineral assets and Rikaz (metals found in the earth).

2. Independence of each Year:
Each Zakat year is an independent one, and Zakat on a given amount of money should not be more than once in the same year. Duality should be avoided. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said: “No duality in Zakat giving”.

3 Actual or Assumed Growth:
Actual or assumed growth of an amount of money is a condition for any Zakat is to be given from this money. Therefore, Zakat is not due on fixed assets or things for personal use. This is because the condition of actual or assumed growth would not be met.

4. Zakat Base should reach Nisab
Zakat is due on money which is abounding (more than basic needs). No Zakat is due for little amounts of money. The amount of money should reach the Nisab. This guarantees that only those who have the capacity of paying will be obliged to pay.

5. Calculating Zakat on the Total or Net Zakatable Money
For every kind of money or activity there is a rule for calculation Zakat which is due on it. Some are calculated in relation to the total amount and others are calculated in relation to the net amount ( Property).

6. Grouping Money of the Same kinds together as Zakatable Base:
It is permissible to group cash money of wealth to cash money available from offers of commerce and other gained cash money, so that for all these monies there would be one Nisab and one Zakat Year.

7. Evaluating Zakatable Money according to the Current value .
Evaluating cash money of wealth and cash money from offers of commerce to define the due Zakat should be according to the current value at the time of paying Zakat. They should not be evaluated according to the historic value, cost or market, whichever is less.

Equations of calculating Zakat They are as follows :

Receptacle of Zakat = Zakat Base =
Zakatable Money ( Assets),( Less ) - Zakatable Liabilities which are due to be paid at the moment.

obligatory Zakat. which are due in short time.
2. Zakatable Money( Assets )= Assets which meet the conditions of obligatory Zakat. 3. Zakatable Liabilities = which are due in short time. 4. Due Zakat = Zakat Base By Zakat Rate

Conditions of Zakatable Money They are as follows:
a. It should be a full ownership. b. It should be Growing actually or assumed

c. The completion of one Lunar Year except for Zakat on agriculture, fruits, mineral wealth or Rikaz in earth.

d. Not other kind of Zakat has been paid on the same Zakatable Money within the same year.
e. Zakatable Money should exceeds Basic Needs.

f. Zakatable Money should not include a Debt which is due at the time

year . c. Liabilities should be legally permissible

Nisab = the minimum amount of
Due Zakat It is equal to 85 grams of pure gold. A gram should be evaluated according to current prices at the time of paying Zakat in the country in which the original money is located.

The Amount of Due Zakat When Zakat Base money once reaches the Nisab , the Due Zakat is calcuated as follow : Zakat Base x the price of Zakat.

The Price of Zakat = Zakat Rate
It varies according to the kind of money and activity. It ranges between 2.5% and 20% of Zakatable Base.

Executive Procedures for Calculating Zakat

Steps of Calculating Zakat
( Zakat Accounting Procedures )

Zakat should be calculated according to the following steps:
1. Defining the date completion the Lunar year. This date varies according to the circumstances of the Zakat giver ( Payer).

With the exception of Zakat on agriculture, fruits, minerals and minerals in the earth. In these cases Zakat should given at time of harvest or the acquisition of the minerals.

In the case of defending the Lunar year for the first time, the date of beginning and the date of completing should be defined according to the date of reaching the Nisab amount.

2. Different Monies owned by the Zakat Payer should be assessed at
the end of year according to the rules of Zakat. From this money it should be defined on which Zakat must be given. They are called Zakatable Money ( Assets).

3. Assessment of Taxable Liabilities (deductions) which are due to be deducted from Zakatable money according to the rules of Zakat.

4. Defining the receptacle of Zakat ( Zakat Base ) by the deduction of Due Liabilities from Zakatable Money by the following equation. The receptacle of Zakat ( Zakat Base ) = Zakatable Money – Due Liabilities.

5- Calculating the Nisab as mentioned
before. Each kind of Zakat has a special Nisab .

6. A comparison should made between the Zakat Base, defined in step 4 above, with Nisab defined in step 5. So as to know whether Zakat is due or not. If the Zakat Base has reached the amount of Nisab, then Zakat would be Due.

7. Define the amount which should be taken from the receptacle of Zakat ( Zakat Base ), it is as a Percentage % , it is culled the Price of Zakat , It varies from 2,5% to 20% of Zakat Base

8. Calculating the amount of Zakat by multiplying the amount of the receptacle by the amount of the price (or percentage) of Zakat. The result should be the amount of due Zakat.

9. Define who pays the due Zakat a follow :
a. For individuals and personal establishments: The individuals or the owner should pay the due Zakat.

b. For partnership: The amount of the due Zakat should be divided between the partners, each according to the percentage ofhis share in the capital of partnership.

c. For investment companies:
The amount of the due Zakat should be divided on the number of shares to know the amount of Zakat due on each share. Each investor should then pay Zakat according to his ownership of shares.

d. For partnerships of labor and capital (mudarabah Sahr’iyyah) : The laborer (Mudarib) pay Zakat according to his share of profits Whereas the financier (Mumawwil) should pay Zakat on the capital and the profit less the laborer’s share.

10. Zakat Amount should be distributed according to its duers in the light of the rules of Islamic Law (Shari’ah).

The following are steps of Calculating the Zakat of Zakat on agriculture and fruits and calculating their Due amounts:

a) Measure the total production of the land either by production quantity or cash.
b) Define the expenses on the production, if the opinion adopted is that which says that expenses should be deduced as far as they do not exceed the third, which is the opinion of the Sixth Fiqh Seminar of Barakah.

d) Define the amount of the Nisab, which is equivalent to 5 Awsaq, or the equvalent to 50 Egyptian Kaylah, or 653 kg of wheat d) Define the Zakat Rate according to the Method of Watering , 5% or 10% .

e) Calculate the amount of Zakat as follows:
- In the case of watering by cost: Amount of Zakat = Zakat Base x 5% = …… - In the case of watering without cost: Zakat Base x 10% = ……
