Q. How does find out if they are eligible to pay zakaat? I am only 15

Answer: The following simple criteria would help you resolve if a person is eligible to fulfill the requirement of paying zakat. Its obligation is upon:

  • Upon the sane, adult, free person (non-slave)
  • The passage of an entire year of the Islamic calendar in which the person had owed above the amount of nisab. Or the person had above the amount at the onset of the Islamic year, as well as in the end of that given Islamic year.
  • Person has more then nisab amount
  • On a person owning gold, silver, halal stocks, animals for trade, produce, or other halal investments

Allah Certainly Knows Best.
