"Zakat" is an Islamic financial term that refers to a person’s obligation to donate a certain portion of his/her wealth to charity. Usually, 2.5% of the total value is required from such wealth acquired from cash, gold, and equities. However, the minimum amount of zakat is different for those acquired from farm produce and other business activities.
