Zakat in Kazakhstan follows the same revelation as Zakat everywhere, Asia region, Kazakhstani tenge (KZT) as the money of the calculation, and a Muslim community whose main languages include Kazakh, Russian. It brings together the Nisab in your currency — KZT 285,054 on the silver standard and KZT 3,175,480 on the gold standard, indicatively — the way Zakat is commonly paid in Kazakhstan, a worked example, and the dates and timetable links you need for Ramadan 2027. Kazakhstan is one of 195 countries covered by ZakatSuite, in the Asia region, and every figure on this page is given in the currency a payer in Kazakhstan actually faces.
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 475 KZT per US dollar — the gold Nisab in Kazakhstan is KZT 3,175,480 (87.48g × KZT 36,300 per gram) and the silver Nisab is KZT 285,054 (612.36g × KZT 466 per gram). Both are snapshots, not fixtures — the KZT rate and the metal markets move daily, which is why the calculator reprices the thresholds at the moment of use. So the line that matters most in Kazakhstan is the silver one, KZT 285,054: 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 Zakat is paid through a small number of well-worn channels: bank transfer to registered Zakat charities, local Zakat committees that collect and distribute within the community and mosque collections, especially around Jumu'ah and during Ramadan. The channel matters less than the conditions: the money has to arrive with recipients inside Quran 9:60's eight categories, and become theirs in law and fact (tamlik). Many households in Kazakhstan settle the calculation at home first — often on a fixed Ramadan date — and then distribute through two or three trusted channels rather than one. Before paying, ask how funds are distributed, file the confirmation with your PDF report, and check whether administration costs come out of the Zakat itself where an organisation deducts them. A Zakat-specific fund, where a platform offers one, keeps the money out of general spending — the distinction is recorded in KZT on your statement.
The Ramadan of 1448 AH should begin on Monday 8 February 2027 in Kazakhstan, subject to the crescent's 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. Expect the last fast on 8 or 9 March 2027, and Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. In the capital, Almaty, the opening fast runs from Fajr at 05:24 to Maghrib at 17:13, and every day of the month is set out in the Ramadan 2027 timetable for Kazakhstan — Almaty.
Suppose a saver in Kazakhstan holds KZT 1,425,268 across cash and savings accounts — some 5.0 times the silver Nisab — with nothing owed. It clears the Nisab and completes a hawl, making the Zakat KZT 35,632 at 2.5%. Any gold, stock or foreign currency joins the same KZT total before the 2.5% is applied.
Indicatively, gold stands at KZT 3,175,480 for 87.48 grams of gold and the silver Nisab is KZT 285,054 for 612.36 grams of silver. The working behind them: gold at KZT 36,300 the gram and a silver gram at KZT 466 in Kazakhstan, at 475 KZT per US dollar. Markets move every day, so use the live calculator for the binding figure on your due date; and most scholars test cash against the silver figure.
Calculations for Kazakhstan run in KZT, the Kazakhstani tenge. Wealth held in other currencies are converted into KZT at the rate of your Zakat due date then judged with everything else — a balance kept in Azerbaijan, for example, enters at its KZT value on that date, not at the rate from when it was earned. Method is portable; money is local: the Nisab, the hawl and the 2.5% rate are identical in Kazakhstan to everywhere else.
Total the zakatable side in KZT — balances, metals at today's price, stock bought for resale, investments and money owed to you. Net off debts due, then set the net figure against the Nisab — KZT 285,054 on the silver standard, or KZT 3,175,480 on the gold standard. Once the threshold and the hawl are both met, pays one-fortieth of the net total — the worked example on this page turns KZT 1,425,268 of net savings into KZT 35,632 of Zakat.
There is no single ZakatSuite rate for Kazakhstan: it is the local cash value of one sa' of staple food — some 2–3 kilograms of wheat, rice, flour or dates — per person. Scholars in Kazakhstan set the rate in KZT each year, because it tracks the price of staple food in KZT, not any international figure. Every household member counts, 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.
Kazakhstan is listed in the Asia region, with community languages Kazakh, Russian. Use code KZ for the short page — and the short version of this page is at zakatsuite.com/kz. Every one of the 209 tools accepts Kazakhstan with KZT, including live Nisab conversion and PDF reports; neighbouring coverage includes the Zakat calculator for Azerbaijan.
