Zakat time is approaching and once again, you're drowning in questions. How much do I owe? What counts as wealth? Am I calculating this right? You're not alone — millions of Muslims face the same anxiety, desperately wanting to fulfil this pillar correctly but feeling lost in confusing calculations. This comprehensive Fiqh of Zakat course transforms your biggest Islamic anxiety into complete confidence. You'll learn authentic rulings from Shaykh Khalid Hassan, a qualified scholar from Qassim University's Faculty of Shariah. The first thing Allah will ask you about after your salah is zakat, making this knowledge critical for every Muslim.

What You’ll Learn
  • The meaning of Zakat and its importance in Islam.
  • The specific wealth and assets that are subject to Zakat.
  • The recipients of Zakat and how it is distributed.
  • The conditions and rulings that govern Zakat, including exemptions and obligations.
  • Contemporary financial issues related to Zakat, such as calculating wealth, Zakat on investments and modern-day challenges.

Why Learn the Fiqh of Zakat

Learning the Fiqh of Zakat gives you clear, scholar-backed guidance to calculate your zakat correctly on all wealth types. You'll stop worrying about mistakes and feel confident you're fulfilling this pillar of Islam properly, bringing spiritual peace and purification to your wealth.

You've probably spent hours wondering if you're doing it right. Should your salary count? What about that gold necklace sitting in your drawer? This course removes all the guesswork — you'll learn step-by-step methods for every type of wealth, with no more calculator anxiety or sleepless nights.

Deep down, you want to give zakat perfectly. It's not just about money — it's about purifying your wealth and strengthening your connection with Allah. When you understand the proper rulings, zakat transforms from a stressful obligation into a joyful act of worship.

Underpaying zakat weighs on your conscience, while overpaying strains your finances unnecessarily — both disconnect you from the spiritual benefits of giving zakat properly.

Not all zakat advice online comes from credentialed Islamic scholars, and some sources contradict each other. Our course is taught by qualified scholars who understand both classical fiqh and modern financial realities, so you get authentic rulings, not opinions.

Who is this Course for?

Everyday Muslims Seeking Clarity: you know zakat is important, but the details make your head spin — what's nisab again, how long is the hawl period, who exactly can receive your zakat? This course turns that confusion into crystal-clear confidence.

Professionals and Young Earners: you've just landed your first proper job and your savings are finally growing, but you're wondering whether your salary or pension contributions count towards zakat, or how to handle variable freelance income.

Business Owners and Entrepreneurs: your shop's inventory changes daily, your rental properties generate monthly income and your online business has profits, expenses and outstanding invoices — this course covers how zakat applies to complex business realities.

New Muslims: zakat might be completely new to you, and that's perfectly normal. We start with the absolute basics and build up gradually to more complex scenarios, so you'll never feel lost or left behind.

Community Leaders and Charity Workers: as an imam, zakat administrator or charity worker, people look to you for guidance on complex financial situations, and you need accurate, scholar-backed knowledge to guide them responsibly.

Non-Muslims in Islamic Finance: if you work in Islamic banking, halal investing or Sharia-compliant finance, understanding zakat is essential for serving Muslim clients properly.
