When does the calculation of the Hawl begin for the purpose of paying Zakat on money?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If the capital you started your business with reaches the (minimum threshold), then you must pay its after one lunar year has passed since you owned it. However, if the capital does not reach the nisab, then you must calculate the year (hawl) from the time the capital reached the nisab. The hawl is calculated by the lunar year, and the value of the nisab is 85 grams of gold.
