What is Oman's National Zakat Fund?

The National Zakat Fund in Oman, under the Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs (MERA), collects Zakat from Omani nationals and distributes it to eligible recipients. Expats can also donate through the fund or choose their own channels.

How is Zakat collected for businesses in Oman?

Omani companies owned by Omani nationals may be subject to corporate Zakat, assessed separately from individual Zakat. The Oman Tax Authority oversees corporate tax and Zakat obligations. For individuals, Zakat remains a personal religious duty.

Does the calculator account for Omani Rial's peg to USD?

The OMR is pegged to the USD at a fixed rate (1 OMR = 2.6008 USD). The calculator uses the OMR-denominated gold price directly, which already reflects this peg. No manual conversion is needed.

How this calculator works

Nisab is calculated as 85 grams of pure (24K) gold at today's local price — currently 5372.00 OMR. Gross zakatable assets = cash + gold value + investments + receivables + business assets. Deduct immediate debts due within one year. If net zakatable wealth ≥ nisab and has been held for one lunar year (hawl), Zakat due = 2.5% of net zakatable wealth. Silver nisab is not used in this version.

Frequently Asked Questions

Zakat al-Mal is the obligatory annual alms-giving on wealth in Islam — one of the Five Pillars. It equals 2.5% of net zakatable wealth above the nisab threshold, provided the wealth has been held for one lunar year (hawl).

Nisab is the minimum wealth threshold above which Zakat becomes obligatory. This calculator uses the gold nisab standard: 85 grams of pure (24K) gold at today's local price — currently 5372.00 OMR. If your net wealth reaches this threshold and you've held it for one lunar year, Zakat is due.

Zakatable assets include: cash, bank balances and savings; gold and silver at market value; stocks and liquid investments; receivables you expect to collect; liquid business assets; unspent rental income; and cryptocurrency. Generally excluded: your primary residence, personal-use vehicle, and household furniture.

You may deduct immediate liabilities due within the next lunar year — such as rent due, upcoming loan instalments, and overdue bills. Long-term debts like mortgages are generally not fully deductible. Consult a qualified scholar for your specific situation.

Zakat is due after one full lunar year (approximately 354 days) of holding wealth above the nisab. Many Muslims choose to pay during Ramadan for the increased reward, but it can be paid at any point in the year. It helps to set a consistent annual date for calculation.

This is a matter of scholarly difference. The Hanafi school considers all gold zakatable including jewellery worn personally. The Maliki, Shafi'i and Hanbali schools generally exempt gold jewellery that is in active personal use. Most South Asian expats in GCC follow the Hanafi view and include jewellery. Consult a scholar from your own tradition.

This Oman Zakat calculator uses the live 24K gold price in OMR to compute today's nisab threshold. The Omani Rial (OMR) is the third-highest-valued GCC currency, so the nisab in OMR is typically between OMR 9,500 and OMR 13,000 — representing the same 85-gram gold standard as all GCC countries.

In Oman, the Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs (MERA) is the government body responsible for Islamic affairs, including Zakat guidance and distribution. Oman's National Zakat Fund collects and distributes Zakat to eligible Omani recipients. Expatriate residents typically fulfil their Zakat through approved charities or directly to eligible individuals.

Gold prices in Oman are tracked from local gold retailers and the global spot market in OMR. This calculator provides a live nisab figure updated daily, ensuring your Zakat estimate reflects the latest OMR gold price.
