Zakat (or Alms giving) is the third pillar of Islam.

Zakat means that every Muslim whose net annual savings are above a certain specified minimum must pay an annual amount of 2.5% to the poor and the needy.

This action purifies one's accrued wealth, fosters the quality of sacrifice, and rids him of selfishness and greed. It also helps to reduce resentment and envy between a society's poor and rich classes.

To deduct zakat from dividend income, first calculate the total dividend received within the zakat year. Zakat is typically set at 2.5% of this total income.
