What is the procedure for deduction of zakat from dividend income?

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.

Finally, the calculated zakat should be paid to eligible beneficiaries or charitable organizations.


Can you pay zakat in instalments?

Yes, Zakat can be paid in installments. This can be helpful if someone is not able to pay the full amount at once. However, it's best to make sure the full Zakat amount is paid within the same Islamic (lunar) year__ it becomes due. Paying in parts is allowed, but the full amount should be completed before the next Zakat year. This helps keep the Zakat obligation complete and on time. Some organizations, like Penny Appeal Canada, allow people to donate Zakat in monthly or custom amounts. According to their Zakat policy, 100% of the donation goes to people in need, with no money taken for administration. They also make sure the Zakat is given to those who are eligible, and they keep the funds in a separate bank account until it's used. Anyone who wants to give Zakat in installments or see which causes are eligible can visit their website: pennyappeal.ca/program/zakat/ If someone is unsure how to calculate their Zakat, it's a good idea to speak with a scholar or contact the organization for help.
