To pay zakat on stocks, one can calculate the total value of their stocks and then give 2.5 of that value as zakat. This can be done annually or whenever the value of the stocks reaches the nisab threshold.
If you don’t meet the nisab threshold—the minimum amount of wealth held for a lunar year—you are not required to pay Zakat. Islam only obligates Zakat on those who are financially able. Zakat is meant to uplift the community, not cause hardship. If you're struggling financially, you may actually be eligible to receive Zakat instead.
