This page is the complete Zakat guide for Namibia, for Zakat calculated and paid in NAD. It brings together the Nisab in your currency — NAD 10,982 on the silver standard and NAD 122,340 on the gold standard, indicatively — local thresholds, a local worked example worth NAD 54,910 of savings, local payment channels and local Ramadan dates. Everything is free, and the calculators linked from this page run in your browser with live prices, converting the thresholds into NAD 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 18.3 NAD to the dollar), one gram of gold is worth NAD 1,398 in Namibia and one gram of silver NAD 18. The thresholds those prices produce are NAD 122,340 for gold (87.48g) and NAD 10,982 for silver (612.36g). Treat both figures as indicative: the NAD 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 Namibia is the silver one, NAD 10,982: 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, the Zakat of most households leaves through a small number of well-worn channels: payroll deduction schemes offered by some employers, community collection points and food banks during Ramadan and bank transfer to registered Zakat charities. The channel matters less than the conditions: Zakat must actually reach people whom Quran 9:60 names as eligible, and become theirs in law and fact (tamlik). Plenty of households here calculate at home first, often against a fixed Ramadan date, then spread the payment over two or three trusted channels. Put the practical questions first: keep your payment receipt with your calculation report, and confirm whether any administration deduction touches the Zakat itself. A Zakat-specific fund, where a platform offers one, keeps the money out of general spending — the distinction is recorded in NAD on your statement.
The Ramadan of 1448 AH is planned from Monday 8 February 2027 in Namibia, subject to the crescent's sighting and the announcement your community follows. 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) the likeliest, the 27th, opening on the evening of Friday 5 March 2027. The final fast should fall on 8 or 9 March 2027, followed by Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. Sehri and Iftar times across Namibia are collected via the Ramadan 2027 timetables by city, and Fitrana must be paid before the Eid prayer.
Take a saver in Namibia with NAD 54,910 across cash and savings accounts — about 5.0 times the silver Nisab — with no debts due. Above the Nisab and held for a full lunar year, so 2.5% is due: NAD 1,373. If the same saver also held gold, business stock or foreign currency, those values would be added in NAD first and the 2.5% applied to the combined net total.
Indicatively, gold's Nisab is NAD 122,340 — 87.48 grams of gold — and the silver threshold is NAD 10,982 — 612.36 grams of silver. Those conversions rest on per-gram values of NAD 1,398 for gold and NAD 18 for silver for Namibia, converted at 18.3 NAD to the dollar. Since prices shift daily, so check the live calculator for the exact threshold on your Zakat date; most scholars recommend the silver Nisab for cash and savings.
Zakat in Namibia is calculated in NAD — the Namibian dollar. Wealth held in other currencies are converted into NAD at the rate of your Zakat due date and added to the total before the Nisab test . The currency changes only the clothing of the numbers: 2.5% of net zakatable wealth above the Nisab, after one full lunar year.
Work in NAD throughout: balances, metals at today's price, business stock, investments and money owed to you. Take off the debts due now, then set the net figure against the Nisab — start with the silver figure, NAD 10,982. Once the threshold and the hawl are both met, pays one-fortieth of the net total : on savings of NAD 54,910, the example on this page, the payment is NAD 1,373.
Fitrana (Zakat al-Fitr) is not a fixed ZakatSuite figure: it is the local cash value of one sa' of staple food (about 2–3 kg of wheat, rice, flour or dates) per person. Councils in Namibia set the rate in NAD each year, because it tracks the price of staple food in NAD, not any international figure. Pay it for each person in the household, children included, with the Eid prayer as the deadline. The Fitrana calculator on this site multiplies the announced local rate by your household size.
On ZakatSuite, Namibia sits in the Africa region and its community languages are recorded as English. The country code is NA, (zakatsuite.com/na) — and this address for the full guide. The full set of 209 tools runs for Namibia in NAD, with PDF reports for the record.
