It brings together the Nisab in your currency — XOF 361,868 on the silver standard and XOF 4,031,189 on the gold standard, indicatively — the way Zakat is commonly paid in Togo, a worked example, and the dates and timetable links you need for Ramadan 2027. Togo sits in the Africa region, and the main languages of its Muslim community include French — 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 603 XOF per US dollar — the gold Nisab in Togo is XOF 4,031,189 (87.48g × XOF 46,081 per gram) and the silver Nisab is XOF 361,868 (612.36g × XOF 591 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 West African CFA franc.

In Togo today, most payers hand their Zakat over through a few familiar channels: mosque collections, especially around Jumu'ah and during Ramadan, charity platforms and mobile giving apps and payroll deduction schemes offered by some employers. Whichever route you choose, Zakat must actually reach people whom Quran 9:60 names as eligible, and it must transfer into their ownership (tamlik). A common pattern in Togo: the calculation is settled at home, then the payment is split across two or three trusted routes. Put the practical questions first: keep the receipt beside your calculation report, noting the Hijri date of payment beside the Gregorian one. In Togo, community life runs in French, so instructions left with family should be in the language they actually use.
Ramadan 1448 is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027 across Togo, pending the sighted crescent which local announcements confirm. The last 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 with the 27th night opening the evening of Friday 5 March 2027. Expect the last fast on 8 or 9 March 2027, and Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. For daily times in Togo, use the Ramadan 2027 timetables by city, and remember Fitrana falls due before the Eid prayer.
