This page is the complete Zakat guide for Iran, for Zakat calculated and paid in IRR. Everything that follows is the universal Shariah method expressed entirely in local terms — the way Zakat is commonly paid in Iran, a worked example, and the dates and timetable links you need for Ramadan 2027. Everything is free, and the calculators linked from this page run in your browser with live prices, converting the thresholds into IRR 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 42000 IRR per US dollar — the gold Nisab in Iran is IRR 280,779,307 (87.48g × IRR 3,209,640 per gram) and the silver Nisab is IRR 25,204,738 (612.36g × IRR 41,160 per gram). Both are snapshots, not fixtures — metal prices and exchange rates move every day, and the live calculator on this site fetches current prices before it tests your wealth. The practical consequence in Iran: net savings that pass IRR 25,204,738 and stay there for a lunar year are zakatable at 2.5% under the silver standard most scholars recommend for cash.
In daily practice, the Zakat of most households leaves through a few familiar channels: local Zakat committees that collect and distribute within the community, mosque collections, especially around Jumu'ah and during Ramadan and charity platforms and mobile giving apps. Whichever route you choose, the money has to arrive with recipients whom Quran 9:60 names as eligible, and become theirs in law and fact (tamlik). Plenty of households here the calculation is settled at home, then the payment is split across two or three trusted routes. Put the practical questions first: keep the receipt beside your calculation report, noting the Hijri date of payment beside the Gregorian one. Because community life in Iran runs in Persian, make sure family instructions are understood in that language.
Ramadan 1448 AH is expected to open on Monday 8 February 2027 in Iran, always subject to moon sighting and the announcement your community follows. Ramadan's last ten nights start at Maghrib on 27 February 2027, with Laylat al-Qadr sought on the odd nights that open on 27 February, 1, 3, 5 and 7 March and the 27th night falling on the evening of Friday 5 March 2027. The final fast should fall on 8 or 9 March 2027, and Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. In the capital, Tehran, the opening fast runs between Fajr 05:34 and Maghrib 17:58, with the whole month tabulated in the Ramadan 2027 timetable for Iran — Tehran.
Imagine savings in Iran of IRR 75,614,213 held as cash and savings — about 3.0 times the silver Nisab — with no debts due. It clears the Nisab and completes a hawl, so 2.5% is due: IRR 1,890,355. Gold, business stock or foreign currency would be added in IRR first, with the 2.5% applied to the combined net total.
At this page's reference prices, the gold Nisab is IRR 280,779,307 for 87.48 grams of gold and the silver threshold is IRR 25,204,738 (612.36 grams of silver). Behind those figures sit per-gram values of IRR 3,209,640 for gold and silver at IRR 41,160 the gram for Iran, converted at 42000 IRR to the dollar. Since prices shift daily, so the live calculator gives the exact threshold on your Zakat date; silver is the standard most scholars advise for cash.
Zakat in Iran is calculated in IRR (Iranian rial). Money held abroad are converted into IRR at the due-date rate then judged with everything else — a balance kept in North Korea, for example, enters at its IRR value on that date, not at the rate from when it was earned. What travels is the method, not the money: 2.5% of net zakatable wealth above the Nisab, after one full lunar year.
Start with the gross in IRR — cash and savings, metals priced today, business stock, investments and money owed to you. Net off debts due, then set the net figure against the Nisab in IRR — silver first (IRR 25,204,738). Once the threshold and the hawl are both met, pay 2.5% of the net total to eligible recipients : on savings of IRR 75,614,213, the example on this page, the payment is IRR 1,890,355.
Fitrana follows the food, not the calculator: the duty is one sa' of local staple food (about 2–3 kg of wheat, rice, flour or dates) for each person. Scholars in Iran announce the IRR rate each Ramadan, and community announcements there are commonly made in Persian. The count is per person, including children, with the Eid prayer as the deadline. Enter the announced IRR rate in the Fitrana calculator and it totals the household's duty.
Iran belongs to the Asia region on this site, the languages of its Muslim community here are Persian. The country code is IR, (zakatsuite.com/ir) — and this address for the full guide. Every one of the 209 tools accepts Iran with IRR, so nothing on the platform is closed to a payer here.
