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.
At Penny Appeal USA, we’re here to help you understand your Zakat obligations—and to ensure that no one is left behind, whether they are giving or receiving.
