This page is the complete Zakat guide for Oman, written for payers who calculate and pay in OMR (Omani rial). Below you will find today's indicative Nisab values in Omani rial, the gold and silver Nisab expressed in Omani rial, how giving is usually organised in Oman, what Ramadan 2027 will look like, and the calculators that do the arithmetic for you. Everything is free, and the calculators linked from this page run in your browser with live prices, converting the thresholds into OMR 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 0.385 OMR to the dollar), one gram of gold is worth OMR 29 in Oman and one gram of silver OMR 0. The thresholds those prices produce are OMR 2,574 for gold (87.48g) and OMR 231 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 Omani rial. So the line that matters most in Oman is the silver one, OMR 231: cross it with net wealth held for a hawl, and 2.5% of everything above zero — not just of the excess — is due.
In Oman today, payers settle their Zakat through a few familiar 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: delivery must be to recipients whom Quran 9:60 names as eligible, and become theirs in law and fact (tamlik). A common pattern in Oman: 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, keep the receipt beside your calculation 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 OMR on your statement.
Ramadan 1448 AH should begin on Monday 8 February 2027 for Oman as for most of the world, subject to the sighting of the new moon and your community's announcement. The closing ten nights begin with the Maghrib of 27 February 2027, and Laylat al-Qadr is 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, followed by Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. For Muscat, day one runs between Fajr 05:20 and Maghrib 17:58, and the full month for the capital is tabulated in the Ramadan 2027 timetable for Oman — Muscat.
A resident of Oman holding OMR 716 in cash and savings — some 3.1 times the silver Nisab — with nothing owed. The wealth is above the Nisab and has been held for a full lunar year, so 2.5% is due: OMR 18. If the same saver also held gold, business stock or foreign currency, those values would be added in OMR first and the 2.5% applied to the combined net total.
Indicatively, the gold Nisab is OMR 2,574 (87.48 grams of gold) and the silver Nisab is OMR 231 for 612.36 grams of silver. They are priced from gold at OMR 29 the gram and OMR 0 for silver in Oman, at 0.385 OMR per US dollar. Markets move every day, so check the live calculator for the binding figure on your due date; silver is the standard most scholars advise for cash.
Zakat in Oman is calculated in OMR, the Omani rial. Money held abroad is brought into OMR at the rate of your Zakat due date then judged with everything else . Method is portable; money is local: 2.5% of net zakatable wealth above the Nisab, after one full lunar year.
Add up everything zakatable you own in OMR — balances, metals at today's price, stock bought for resale, investments and money owed to you. Take off the debts due now, then compare the net figure with the Nisab — OMR 231 on the silver standard, or OMR 2,574 on the gold standard. If it reaches the Nisab and a lunar year has passed, pay 2.5% of the net total to eligible recipients : on savings of OMR 716, the example on this page, the payment is OMR 18.
Fitrana follows the food, not the calculator: it is one sa' of staple (about 2–3 kg of wheat, rice, flour or dates) per person. Scholars in Oman set the rate in OMR each year, with announcements commonly made in Arabic. Every household member counts, children included, and deliver it before the Eid prayer. Enter the announced OMR rate in the Fitrana calculator and it totals the household's duty.
On ZakatSuite, Oman sits in the Asia region with Arabic recorded as its community languages. Its two-letter code is OM — and the short version of this page is at zakatsuite.com/om. Every one of the 209 tools accepts Oman with OMR, so nothing on the platform is closed to a payer here.
