Mozambique at a glance for the Zakat payer: for Zakat calculated and paid in MZN. This page translates the universal rules into that local reality: the way Zakat is commonly paid in Mozambique, 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 MZN on the day you actually calculate.
Priced from the reference metal values behind this guide (gold USD 76.42/g, silver USD 0.98/g, at 63.9 MZN to the dollar), one gram of gold is worth MZN 4,883 in Mozambique and one gram of silver MZN 63. The thresholds those prices produce are MZN 427,186 for gold (87.48g) and MZN 38,347 for silver (612.36g). Both are snapshots, not fixtures — on your actual due date the live tool will quote the thresholds afresh in Mozambican metical. So the line that matters most in Mozambique is the silver one, MZN 38,347: cross it with net wealth held for a hawl, and 2.5% of everything above zero — not just of the excess — is due.
In daily practice, the Zakat of most households leaves through a small number of well-worn channels: mosque collections, especially around Jumu'ah and during Ramadan, charity platforms and mobile giving apps and payroll deduction schemes offered by some employers. On every route, the money has to arrive with recipients inside Quran 9:60's eight categories, and it must transfer into their ownership (tamlik). A common pattern in Mozambique: 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 your payment receipt with your calculation report, and check whether administration costs come out of the Zakat itself where an organisation deducts them. Because community life in Mozambique runs in Portuguese, make sure family instructions are understood in that language.
Ramadan 1448 is planned from Monday 8 February 2027 for Mozambique as for most of the world, subject to the crescent's sighting and the announcement your community follows. The last ten nights begin at Maghrib on 27 February 2027, and Laylat al-Qadr is sought on the odd nights that open on 27 February, 1, 3, 5 and 7 March the likeliest, the 27th, opening on the evening of Friday 5 March 2027. The final fast should fall on 8 or 9 March 2027, with Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. For daily times in Mozambique, use the Ramadan 2027 timetables by city, and Fitrana must be paid before the Eid prayer.
Suppose a saver in Mozambique holds MZN 157,224 held as cash and savings — some 4.1 times the silver Nisab — with nothing owed. Above the Nisab and held for a full lunar year, so 2.5% is due: MZN 3,931. Add any gold, stock or foreign currency in MZN first; the 2.5% then applies to the combined net total.
At this page's reference prices, the gold threshold is MZN 427,186 (87.48 grams of gold) with the silver Nisab at MZN 38,347 — 612.36 grams of silver. Behind those figures sit gold at MZN 4,883 the gram and a silver gram at MZN 63 for Mozambique, converted at 63.9 MZN to the dollar. Both metals trade daily, so use the live calculator for the threshold of your actual due date; most scholars recommend the silver Nisab for cash and savings.
Zakat in Mozambique is calculated in MZN, the Mozambican metical. Wealth held in other currencies are converted into MZN at the rate of your Zakat due date then judged with everything else . What travels is the method, not the money: the same calculation a payer runs in Zambia, settled here in Mozambican metical.
Work in MZN throughout: cash, savings, gold and silver at today's prices, stock bought for resale, investments and money owed to you. Take off the debts due now, and test what remains against the Nisab — MZN 38,347 on the silver standard, or MZN 427,186 on the gold standard. Once the threshold and the hawl are both met, is charged at 2.5% of the whole amount — MZN 3,931 on the MZN 157,224 example worked through above.
There is no single ZakatSuite rate for Mozambique: it is one sa' of staple (about 2–3 kg of wheat, rice, flour or dates) per person. Local scholars and councils publish the MZN figure every Ramadan, because it tracks the price of staple food in MZN, not any international figure. Pay it for each person in the household, children included, and deliver it before the Eid prayer. The Fitrana calculator on this site multiplies the announced local rate by your household size.
Mozambique is listed in the Africa region, with community languages Portuguese. Use code MZ for the short page — (zakatsuite.com/mz) — and this address for the full guide. Every one of the 209 tools accepts Mozambique with MZN, with PDF reports for the record.
