If you live in Morocco, or hold your wealth there, this is your starting page — written for payers who calculate and pay in MAD (Moroccan dirham). Below you will find today's indicative Nisab values in Moroccan dirham, local thresholds, a local worked example worth MAD 17,913 of savings, local payment channels and local Ramadan dates. Morocco 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 Morocco actually faces.
Priced from the reference metal values behind this guide (gold USD 76.42/g, silver USD 0.98/g, at 9.95 MAD to the dollar), one gram of gold is worth MAD 760 in Morocco and one gram of silver MAD 10. The thresholds those prices produce are MAD 66,518 for gold (87.48g) and MAD 5,971 for silver (612.36g). Read them as the shape of the answer rather than its final digit: on your actual due date the live tool will quote the thresholds afresh in Moroccan dirham. So the line that matters most in Morocco is the silver one, MAD 5,971: cross it with net wealth held for a hawl, and 2.5% of everything above zero — not just of the excess — is due.
In Morocco today, most payers hand their Zakat over through the same short list of routes: 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. Whatever the channel, delivery must be to recipients inside Quran 9:60's eight categories, and it must transfer into their ownership (tamlik). Plenty of households here 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. In Morocco, community life runs in Arabic, Amazigh, so instructions left with family should be in the language they actually use.
Ramadan 1448 is planned from Monday 8 February 2027 in Morocco, always subject to moon sighting which local announcements confirm. The last ten nights begin at Maghrib on 27 February 2027, the search for Laylat al-Qadr falling on the odd nights (27 February, 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, and Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. In the capital, Rabat, the opening fast runs between Fajr 05:49 and Maghrib 18:09, and every day of the month is set out in the Ramadan 2027 timetable for Morocco — Rabat.
Imagine savings in Morocco of MAD 17,913 across cash and savings accounts , roughly 3.0 times the silver Nisab, and no debts due. Above the Nisab and held for a full lunar year, so 2.5% is due: MAD 448. Add any gold, stock or foreign currency in MAD first; the 2.5% then applies to the combined net total.
Indicatively, the gold Nisab is MAD 66,518 for 87.48 grams of gold and the silver Nisab is MAD 5,971 (612.36 grams of silver). They are priced from gold at MAD 760 the gram and MAD 10 for silver in Morocco at the 9.95 MAD reference rate. Markets move every day, so let the live calculator quote the exact threshold on your Zakat date; and most scholars test cash against the silver figure.
For Morocco, the money of the calculation is MAD, the Moroccan dirham. Foreign balances are converted into MAD using the rate on your Zakat date and added before the Nisab test — a balance kept in Sierra Leone, for example, enters at its MAD 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 Morocco to everywhere else.
Total the zakatable side in MAD — balances, metals at today's price, stock, investments and receivables. Take off the debts due now, then compare the net figure with the Nisab — MAD 5,971 on the silver standard, or MAD 66,518 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 MAD 17,913 of net savings into MAD 448 of Zakat.
Fitrana (Zakat al-Fitr) is not a fixed ZakatSuite figure: it is one sa' of staple — roughly 2–3 kilograms of wheat, flour, rice or dates — for each person. Scholars in Morocco announce the MAD rate each Ramadan, and community announcements there are commonly made in Arabic, Amazigh. Every household member counts, children included, with the Eid prayer as the deadline. The Fitrana calculator on this site multiplies the announced local rate by your household size.
Morocco is listed in the Africa region, the languages of its Muslim community here are Arabic, Amazigh. The country code is MA, the short page lives at zakatsuite.com/ma, while this long guide stays at the country address. The full set of 209 tools runs for Morocco in MAD, so nothing on the platform is closed to a payer here.
