FAQ, Stock Zakat
What is the zakat rate on stocks?
Zakat on stocks is 2.5% of the zakatable wealth (market value + cash minus debts), paid once per Islamic lunar year (354 days) once the nisab threshold (~85g gold value) is reached.
Difference between trader and long-term investor zakat?
Trader (buys to sell): zakat on full portfolio market value + broker cash × 2.5%. Long-term investor (holds for dividends): zakat only on cash dividends received × 2.5%; stocks themselves are exempt. Intention (niyyah) decides which rule applies.
Is stock zakat paid annually?
Yes, zakat is annual. Pick a fixed day (commonly 1st of Ramadan), on that same day every year, compute your portfolio value and pay 2.5%.
Use market value or purchase price for zakat?
Use the current market value on the zakat day, not the purchase price. Example: bought for 100K, worth 150K today → zakat on 150K.
Can I deduct debts from zakatable wealth?
Yes. Subtract outstanding debts you owe from the zakatable base. Example: 500K portfolio, 100K loan → 400K base × 2.5% = 10,000 EGP zakat.
