This page is the complete Zakat guide for Russia, Europe region, Russian ruble (RUB) as the money of the calculation, and a Muslim community whose main languages include Russian. This page translates the universal rules into that local reality: practical notes on paying Zakat in Russia, a step-by-step method, a worked example with real RUB figures, and answers to the questions payers in Russia ask most. The calculators linked here run in your browser, free, with the Nisab converted into RUB at live metal prices rather than printed from a table that went stale last month.
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 91 RUB per US dollar — the gold Nisab in Russia is RUB 608,355 (87.48g × RUB 6,954 per gram) and the silver Nisab is RUB 54,610 (612.36g × RUB 89 per gram). 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 Russian ruble. On the silver standard most scholars recommend for cash, a payer in Russia whose net savings pass RUB 54,610 for a full lunar year owes 2.5% of the total.
In daily practice, payers settle their Zakat through the same short list of routes: charity platforms and mobile giving apps, payroll deduction schemes offered by some employers and community collection points and food banks during Ramadan. On every route, the money has to arrive with recipients within the eight categories of Quran 9:60, and it must transfer into their ownership (tamlik). A common pattern in Russia: 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, keep the receipt beside your calculation report, noting the Hijri date of payment beside the Gregorian one. A Zakat-specific fund, where a platform offers one, keeps the money out of general spending — the distinction is recorded in RUB on your statement.
Ramadan 2027 is expected to open on Monday 8 February 2027 in Russia as elsewhere, subject to the sighting of the new moon which local announcements confirm. The last ten nights begin with the Maghrib of 27 February 2027, Laylat al-Qadr being 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. Expect the last fast on 8 or 9 March 2027, with Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. For daily times in Russia, use the Ramadan 2027 timetables by city, and Fitrana must be paid before the Eid prayer.
A resident of Russia holding RUB 245,746 in cash and savings — some 4.5 times the silver Nisab — with nothing owed. It clears the Nisab and completes a hawl, so 2.5% is due: RUB 6,144. Gold, business stock or foreign currency would be added in RUB first, with the 2.5% applied to the combined net total.
At this page's reference prices, the gold threshold is RUB 608,355 — 87.48 grams of gold — and silver's is RUB 54,610 (612.36 grams of silver). The working behind them: gold at RUB 6,954 the gram and a silver gram at RUB 89 for Russia, converted at 91 RUB to the dollar. Both metals trade daily, so check the live calculator for the threshold of your actual due date; silver is the standard most scholars advise for cash.
Zakat in Russia is calculated in RUB — the Russian ruble. Money held abroad are converted into RUB at the due-date rate then judged with everything else . Method is portable; money is local: the Nisab, the hawl and the 2.5% rate are identical in Russia to everywhere else.
Work in RUB throughout: cash and savings, metals priced today, business stock, investments and money owed to you. Take off the debts due now, and test what remains against the Nisab in RUB — silver first (RUB 54,610). Once the threshold and the hawl are both met, is charged at 2.5% of the whole amount — RUB 6,144 on the RUB 245,746 example worked through above.
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 and councils in Russia publish the RUB figure every Ramadan, and community announcements there are commonly made in Russian. Every household member counts, children included, and deliver it before the Eid prayer. The Fitrana calculator multiplies Russia's announced rate by your household size so nobody is missed.
