The short-form France page: everything a payer here needs first, in EUR, without the long guide's full method. Everything here is in EUR: the Nisab converted at reference metal prices, an example calculation in Euro, the usual ways people pay in France, and Ramadan 2027 with its timetable links. Need the complete method as well? The full France guide walks the calculation step by step in EUR.
At this page's reference prices — EUR 70 per gram of gold and EUR 1 per gram of silver, converted at 0.92 EUR per dollar — the two weights price out as follows for France. So the thresholds a saver in France watches are EUR 552 (silver) and EUR 6,150 (gold). Treat the pair as today's guide figures; the calculators fetch live prices the moment you use them, and Zakat law judges your wealth against the Nisab of your actual due date, not of the day you happened to read a web page.
Take a concrete case in France: a resident holds 125 grams of gold — worth about EUR 8,788 at the indicative per-gram price on this page — plus EUR 828 in savings. Combined zakatable wealth is EUR 9,616. That clears the Nisab comfortably and, after a full lunar year, the Zakat is 2.5% of the combined figure: EUR 240. Notice that the gold is not tested against the gold Nisab on its own here — in a mixed portfolio the assets are valued together in EUR and tested once, which is how the calculators on this page proceed.
In daily practice, most payers hand their Zakat over through a small number of well-worn channels: local Zakat committees that collect and distribute within the community, mosque collections, especially around Jumu'ah and during Ramadan and charity platforms and mobile giving apps. The route changes nothing about the amount when the net wealth met the Nisab and the 2.5% was applied — so choose for reliability: a channel that identifies eligible recipients properly and transfers ownership fully. If your Zakat leaves France, confirm the recipient end is genuinely Zakat-eligible rather than a general appeal, and keep the confirmation alongside the PDF report for that year.
In France, as everywhere, the test falls on owned, accessible wealth: cash in hand and in the bank, savings and deposits, gold and silver in any form, stock bought for resale, business inventory and receivables, investments and crypto at market value — all of it converted into EUR where necessary. Personal-use property stays out — your home in France, your car, household furniture and personal effects, plus anything you do not truly own or cannot reach. Debts due now come off before the Nisab test; value in EUR, deduct what is due, test the net against the Nisab, and charge one-fortieth of the whole net figure once a lunar year has passed.
Ramadan 2027 should begin on Monday 8 February 2027 in France as elsewhere, pending the sighted crescent which local announcements confirm. The final ten nights open at Maghrib on 27 February 2027, 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 final fast should fall on 8 or 9 March 2027, followed by Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. The day-by-day table lives in the Ramadan 2027 timetable for France — Paris; and Fitrana must reach the poor before the Eid prayer. In Paris, day one runs from Fajr 07:00 to Maghrib 17:59. Other cities in France with their own calendars: Marseille, Lyon — browse them all from the Ramadan 2027 timetables index.
Indicatively the gold Nisab is EUR 6,150, the value of 87.48 grams of gold at EUR 70 per gram. The live figure moves with the gold market, so recheck it when you calculate — a month-old figure can be wrong in either direction. For mixed wealth most scholars reach for the lower, silver threshold instead — in France that is EUR 552 at the same reference prices.
For money-like wealth in France, the widely recommended standard is silver — EUR 552 at reference prices — the threshold the majority of contemporary councils advise, in France as elsewhere. Gold-only wealth is tested against the gold Nisab by agreement. The calculator displays both EUR figures side by side the choice changes your duty, so it is worth a question to a scholar you trust — the calculator shows both figures so the conversation starts from real numbers.
Your due date is personal, not national: the Hijri anniversary of the day your wealth first reached the Nisab. Count it in lunar years of 354 days; so the Gregorian date moves about eleven days earlier each year. If you pay in Ramadan for the multiplied reward, as many in France do, pay the coming year's duty early rather than this year's late: the hawl, not the season, sets the deadline.
Yes, and most online giving from France flows through the channels described on this page. The conditions are that the recipient falls within Quran 9:60's categories, and that the money is truly theirs once sent, not merely pledged. Keep the platform's confirmation with your PDF report for France, keep the confirmation email or receipt with your calculation report, and record the Hijri date of payment as well as the Gregorian one.
The full 30-day table for the capital is on the Ramadan 2027 timetable for France, with Sehri (Fajr), Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Iftar (Maghrib) and Isha for every day from 8 February 2027 onwards. The table is computed for the capital, so distance matters: in a country in the Europe region, local timetables adjust for where in France you actually fast.
