Nauru at a glance for the Zakat payer: and is paid, in practice, in AUD, at local prices, through local channels. Everything that follows is the universal Shariah method expressed entirely in local terms — local thresholds, a local worked example worth AUD 3,101 of savings, local payment channels and local Ramadan dates. Nauru sits in the Oceania region, and the main languages of its Muslim community include Nauruan, English — the rules below are the universal Shariah rules, expressed entirely in local terms.
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 1.52 AUD per US dollar — the gold Nisab in Nauru is AUD 10,162 (87.48g × AUD 116 per gram) and the silver Nisab is AUD 912 (612.36g × AUD 1 per gram). Treat both figures as indicative: on your actual due date the live tool will quote the thresholds afresh in Australian dollar. The practical consequence in Nauru: net savings that pass AUD 912 and stay there for a lunar year are zakatable at 2.5% under the silver standard most scholars recommend for cash.
In practice, most Zakat is paid through the same short list of routes: payroll deduction schemes offered by some employers, community collection points and food banks during Ramadan and bank transfer to registered Zakat charities. On every route, delivery must be to recipients within the eight categories of Quran 9:60, and become theirs in law and fact (tamlik). A common pattern in Nauru: 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 the receipt beside your calculation report, and confirm whether any administration deduction touches the Zakat itself. Because community life in Nauru runs in Nauruan, English, make sure family instructions are understood in that language.
Ramadan 1448 AH is expected to open on Monday 8 February 2027 in Nauru as elsewhere, subject to the sighting of the new moon which local announcements confirm. Ramadan's last ten nights start from Maghrib on 27 February, 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 last fast is expected on 8 or 9 March 2027, followed by Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. Daily fasting times for Nauru are gathered through the Ramadan 2027 timetables by city, and Fitrana must be paid before the Eid prayer.
A resident of Nauru holding AUD 3,101 in cash and savings — some 3.4 times the silver Nisab — with nothing owed. It clears the Nisab and completes a hawl, so 2.5% is due: AUD 78. Any gold, stock or foreign currency joins the same AUD total before the 2.5% is applied.
On reference prices, gold's Nisab is AUD 10,162 — 87.48 grams of gold — with the silver Nisab at AUD 912 (612.36 grams of silver). Behind those figures sit a gold gram at AUD 116 and a silver gram at AUD 1 in Nauru at the 1.52 AUD reference rate. Markets move every day, so the live calculator gives the binding figure on your due date; silver is the standard most scholars advise for cash.
For Nauru, the money of the calculation is AUD — the Australian dollar. Money held abroad are converted into AUD at your due date's rate and added to the total before the Nisab test — a balance kept in Tonga, for example, enters at its AUD value on that date, not at the rate from when it was earned. What travels is the method, not the money: the Nisab, the hawl and the 2.5% rate are identical in Nauru to everywhere else.
Total the zakatable side in AUD — cash, savings, gold and silver at today's prices, stock, investments and receivables. Net off debts due, then set the net figure against the Nisab — AUD 912 on the silver standard, or AUD 10,162 on the gold standard. A net figure over the threshold, held a full hawl, is charged at 2.5% of the whole amount : on savings of AUD 3,101, the example on this page, the payment is AUD 78.
There is no single ZakatSuite rate for Nauru: it is the local cash value of one sa' of staple food (about 2–3 kg of wheat, rice, flour or dates) for each person. Local scholars and councils publish the AUD figure every Ramadan, because it tracks the price of staple food in AUD, not any international figure. Pay it for each person in the household, children included, and must reach the poor before the Eid prayer. Enter the announced AUD rate in the Fitrana calculator and it totals the household's duty.
