About this category
This category is for an individual or household combining Zakat al-Mal components into one estimate: cash, savings, precious metals, shares, trade inventory, and relevant debts. The tool organizes inputs and applies disclosed assumptions, but it cannot choose the appropriate scholarly treatment for every asset.
Use one valuation date and currency, and establish nisab and the lunar holding period under the method you follow. Large businesses, complex portfolios, or disputed debt treatment need qualified Sharia and accounting review.
