Fiji at a glance for the Zakat payer: and is paid, in practice, in FJD, at local prices, through local channels. Everything that follows is the universal Shariah method expressed entirely in local terms — local thresholds, a local worked example worth FJD 6,346 of savings, local payment channels and local Ramadan dates. Everything is free, and the calculators linked from this page run in your browser with live prices, converting the thresholds into FJD on the day you actually calculate.
At the reference prices used for this guide — gold at USD 76.42 per gram and silver at USD 0.98 per gram, converted at 2.25 FJD per US dollar — the gold Nisab in Fiji is FJD 15,042 (87.48g × FJD 172 per gram) and the silver Nisab is FJD 1,350 (612.36g × FJD 2 per gram). Both are snapshots, not fixtures — on your actual due date the live tool will quote the thresholds afresh in Fijian dollar. On the silver standard most scholars recommend for cash, a payer in Fiji whose net savings pass FJD 1,350 for a full lunar year owes 2.5% of the total.
As a rule, most payers hand their Zakat over through a small number of well-worn channels: payroll deduction schemes offered by some employers, community collection points and food banks during Ramadan and bank transfer to registered Zakat charities. Whatever the channel, Zakat must actually reach people inside Quran 9:60's eight categories, and it must transfer into their ownership (tamlik). Many households in Fiji calculate at home first, often against a fixed Ramadan date, then spread the payment over two or three trusted channels. Ask distributors how the money is separated, file the confirmation with your PDF report, and confirm whether any administration deduction touches the Zakat itself. Because community life in Fiji runs in English, Fijian, Hindi, make sure family instructions are understood in that language.
Ramadan 1448 AH should begin on Monday 8 February 2027 for Fiji as for most of the world, pending the sighted crescent and the announcement followed locally. The last ten nights begin from Maghrib on 27 February, and Laylat al-Qadr is sought on the odd nights — 27 February, then 1, 3, 5 and 7 March — and the 27th night falling on the evening of Friday 5 March 2027. The last fast is expected on 8 or 9 March 2027, followed by Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. Daily fasting times for Fiji are gathered through the Ramadan 2027 timetables by city, and Fitrana must be paid before the Eid prayer.
Suppose a saver in Fiji holds FJD 6,346 in cash and savings , roughly 4.7 times the silver Nisab, and no debts due. The wealth is above the Nisab and has been held for a full lunar year, making the Zakat FJD 159 at 2.5%. Any gold, stock or foreign currency joins the same FJD total before the 2.5% is applied.
Indicatively, gold stands at FJD 15,042 (87.48 grams of gold) and silver's is FJD 1,350 (612.36 grams of silver). They are priced from per-gram values of FJD 172 for gold and silver at FJD 2 the gram for Fiji, converted at 2.25 FJD to the dollar. Markets move every day, so the live calculator gives the threshold of your actual due date; silver is the standard most scholars advise for cash.
For Fiji, the money of the calculation is FJD, the Fijian dollar. Foreign balances is brought into FJD at the rate of your Zakat due date then judged with everything else . The rules themselves do not change with the currency: the Nisab, the hawl and the 2.5% rate are identical in Fiji to everywhere else.
Total the zakatable side in FJD — cash, savings, gold and silver at today's prices, stock, investments and receivables. Net off debts due, then compare the net figure with the Nisab — start with the silver figure, FJD 1,350. If it reaches the Nisab and a lunar year has passed, pay 2.5% of the net total to eligible recipients : on savings of FJD 6,346, the example on this page, the payment is FJD 159.
Fitrana (Zakat al-Fitr) is not a fixed ZakatSuite figure: it is one sa' of staple (about 2–3 kg of wheat, rice, flour or dates) per person. Scholars in Fiji set the rate in FJD each year, with announcements commonly made in English, Fijian, Hindi. Pay it for each person in the household, children included, with the Eid prayer as the deadline. The Fitrana calculator multiplies Fiji's announced rate by your household size so nobody is missed.
