Palestine at a glance for the Zakat payer: written for payers who calculate and pay in ILS (Israeli new shekel). Everything that follows is the universal Shariah method expressed entirely in local terms — the way Zakat is commonly paid in Palestine, a worked example, and the dates and timetable links you need for Ramadan 2027. Palestine is one of 195 countries covered by ZakatSuite, in the Asia region, and every figure on this page is given in the currency a payer in Palestine actually faces.
Priced from the reference metal values behind this guide (gold USD 76.42/g, silver USD 0.98/g, at 3.62 ILS to the dollar), one gram of gold is worth ILS 277 in Palestine and one gram of silver ILS 4. The thresholds those prices produce are ILS 24,201 for gold (87.48g) and ILS 2,172 for silver (612.36g). Both are snapshots, not fixtures — the ILS rate and the metal markets move daily, which is why the calculator reprices the thresholds at the moment of use. On the silver standard most scholars recommend for cash, a payer in Palestine whose net savings pass ILS 2,172 for a full lunar year owes 2.5% of the total.
As a rule, the Zakat of most households leaves through the same short list of routes: community collection points and food banks during Ramadan, bank transfer to registered Zakat charities and local Zakat committees that collect and distribute within the community. Whatever the channel, Zakat must actually reach people within the eight categories of Quran 9:60, and it must transfer into their ownership (tamlik). Many households in Palestine settle the calculation at home first — often on a fixed Ramadan date — and then distribute through two or three trusted channels rather than one. Ask distributors how the money is separated, file the confirmation with your PDF report, noting the Hijri date of payment beside the Gregorian one. In Palestine, community life runs in Arabic, so instructions left with family should be in the language they actually use.
Ramadan 1448 should begin on Monday 8 February 2027 in Palestine, subject to the crescent's sighting and the announcement followed locally. The closing ten nights begin from Maghrib on 27 February, and Laylat al-Qadr is sought 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. Sehri and Iftar times across Palestine are collected via the Ramadan 2027 timetables by city, and Fitrana must be paid before the Eid prayer.
Suppose a saver in Palestine holds ILS 11,731 in cash and savings — about 5.4 times the silver Nisab — with no debts due. The wealth is above the Nisab and has been held for a full lunar year, so the Zakat due is 2.5% × ILS 11,731 = ILS 293. If the same saver also held gold, business stock or foreign currency, those values would be added in ILS first and the 2.5% applied to the combined net total.
On reference prices, gold's Nisab is ILS 24,201 for 87.48 grams of gold and the silver Nisab is ILS 2,172 (612.36 grams of silver). Behind those figures sit gold at ILS 277 the gram and ILS 4 for silver for Palestine, converted at 3.62 ILS to the dollar. Since prices shift daily, so let the live calculator quote the exact threshold on your Zakat date; silver is the standard most scholars advise for cash.
Calculations for Palestine run in ILS, the Israeli new shekel. Foreign balances are converted into ILS at the rate of your Zakat due date and added before the Nisab test . The rules themselves do not change with the currency: 2.5% of net zakatable wealth above the Nisab, after one full lunar year.
Start with the gross in ILS — cash and savings, metals priced today, stock, investments and receivables. Net off debts due, and test what remains against the Nisab — ILS 2,172 on the silver standard, or ILS 24,201 on the gold standard. A net figure over the threshold, held a full hawl, pays one-fortieth of the net total : on savings of ILS 11,731, the example on this page, the payment is ILS 293.
No fixed figure exists for Palestine: it is one sa' of staple — roughly 2–3 kilograms of wheat, flour, rice or dates — for each person. Councils in Palestine announce the ILS rate each Ramadan, with announcements commonly made in Arabic. It is paid for every member of the household, including children, with the Eid prayer as the deadline. The Fitrana calculator multiplies Palestine's announced rate by your household size so nobody is missed.
