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. After calculating the zakat amount, ensure that any other zakat-eligible assets are also considered, as they may affect the overall zakat obligation. Finally, the calculated zakat should be paid to eligible beneficiaries or charitable organizations.
