If you live in Guinea, or hold your wealth there, this is your starting page — written for payers who calculate and pay in GNF (Guinean franc). This page translates the universal rules into that local reality: the gold and silver Nisab expressed in Guinean franc, how giving is usually organised in Guinea, what Ramadan 2027 will look like, and the calculators that do the arithmetic for you. Guinea is one of 195 countries covered by ZakatSuite, in the Africa region, and every figure on this page is given in the currency a payer in Guinea actually faces.
The two thresholds a payer in Guinea is judged against, at this guide's reference prices, are GNF 57,492,906 — the value of 87.48 grams of gold at GNF 657,212 per gram — and GNF 5,160,970, the value of 612.36 grams of silver at GNF 8,428 per gram, with the conversion running at 8600 GNF per US dollar. Treat both figures as indicative: metal prices and exchange rates move every day, and the live calculator on this site fetches current prices before it tests your wealth. So the line that matters most in Guinea is the silver one, GNF 5,160,970: cross it with net wealth held for a hawl, and 2.5% of everything above zero — not just of the excess — is due.
As a rule, most payers hand their Zakat over through the same short list of routes: charity platforms and mobile giving apps, payroll deduction schemes offered by some employers and community collection points and food banks during Ramadan. On every route, delivery must be to recipients whom Quran 9:60 names as eligible, and become theirs in law and fact (tamlik). A common pattern in Guinea: calculate at home first, often against a fixed Ramadan date, then spread the payment over two or three trusted channels. Before paying, ask how funds are distributed, keep the receipt beside your calculation report, noting the Hijri date of payment beside the Gregorian one. In Guinea, community life runs in French, so instructions left with family should be in the language they actually use.
Ramadan 1448 is expected to open on Monday 8 February 2027 for Guinea as for most of the world, subject to the crescent's sighting which local announcements confirm. The final ten nights open from Maghrib on 27 February, Laylat al-Qadr being sought on the odd nights (27 February, 1, 3, 5 and 7 March) the likeliest, the 27th, opening 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. Sehri and Iftar times across Guinea are collected via the Ramadan 2027 timetables by city, and Fitrana must be paid before the Eid prayer.
Imagine savings in Guinea of GNF 22,708,268 across cash and savings accounts — some 4.4 times the silver Nisab — with nothing owed. The wealth is above the Nisab and has been held for a full lunar year, so the Zakat due is 2.5% × GNF 22,708,268 = GNF 567,707. Any gold, stock or foreign currency joins the same GNF total before the 2.5% is applied.
Indicatively, gold stands at GNF 57,492,906 for 87.48 grams of gold and silver's is GNF 5,160,970 — 612.36 grams of silver. They are priced from gold at GNF 657,212 the gram and a silver gram at GNF 8,428 in Guinea, at 8600 GNF per US dollar. Since prices shift daily, so use the live calculator for the binding figure on your due date; and most scholars test cash against the silver figure.
Zakat in Guinea is calculated in GNF, the Guinean franc. Money held abroad is brought into GNF at the due-date rate then judged with everything else . What travels is the method, not the money: the Nisab, the hawl and the 2.5% rate are identical in Guinea to everywhere else.
Work in GNF throughout: cash, savings, gold and silver at today's prices, business stock, investments and money owed to you. Take off the debts due now, then compare the net figure with the Nisab in GNF — silver first (GNF 5,160,970). A net figure over the threshold, held a full hawl, pays one-fortieth of the net total — the worked example on this page turns GNF 22,708,268 of net savings into GNF 567,707 of Zakat.
Fitrana follows the food, not the calculator: the duty is one sa' of local staple food — some 2–3 kilograms of wheat, rice, flour or dates — per person. Scholars and councils in Guinea publish the GNF figure every Ramadan, and community announcements there are commonly made in French. Pay it for each person in the household, children included, and must reach the poor before the Eid prayer. The Fitrana calculator on this site multiplies the announced local rate by your household size.
