Turkey at a glance for Zakat payers: currency TRY (Turkish lira), region Asia, community languages Turkish. Everything here is in TRY: the Nisab converted at reference metal prices, an example calculation in Turkish lira, the usual ways people pay in Turkey, and Ramadan 2027 with its timetable links. Need the complete method as well? The full Turkey guide walks the calculation step by step in TRY.
Using the reference prices behind this page (gold USD 76.42/g, silver USD 0.98/g, at 32.5 TRY per dollar), one gram of gold is worth TRY 2,484 and one gram of silver TRY 32 in Turkey. Scaled to the Nisab weights, that is TRY 217,270 for 87.48 grams of gold and TRY 19,504 for 612.36 grams of silver. Snapshots is the right word: the binding threshold is the live one on your due date, which the calculators fetch in TRY when you run them.
Take a concrete case in Turkey: a resident holds 200 grams of gold — worth about TRY 496,730 at the indicative per-gram price on this page — plus TRY 29,255 in savings. Combined zakatable wealth is TRY 525,985. That clears the Nisab comfortably and, after a full lunar year, the Zakat is 2.5% of the combined figure: TRY 13,150. 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 TRY and tested once, which is how the calculators on this page proceed.
In Turkey today, 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 , the net figure against the TRY Nisab and the 2.5% rate — the channel only has to deliver that figure intact, to recipients who are genuinely eligible. If your Zakat leaves Turkey, 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 Turkey, as everywhere, the test falls on owned, accessible wealth: balances, savings, metals in any form, resale stock, business receivables, investments and crypto at market value — with anything held in another currency converted into TRY first. What does not count: your home in Turkey, 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; then, if the net total has reached the threshold — TRY 19,504 on the silver standard most scholars apply to cash in Turkey and a lunar year has passed over it, 2.5% is the right of the poor in that wealth.
Ramadan 1448 AH is expected to begin on Monday 8 February 2027 across Turkey, subject to the sighting of the new moon and the announcement followed locally. The final ten nights open at Maghrib on 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, followed by Eid al-Fitr on 9–10 March 2027. The day-by-day table lives in the Ramadan 2027 timetable for Turkey — Ankara; remember that Fitrana is due before the Eid prayer, not after it. In Ankara, day one runs from Fajr 06:18 to Maghrib 18:23. Other cities in Turkey with their own calendars: Istanbul, Izmir, Bursa, Konya — browse them all from the Ramadan 2027 timetables index.
At this page's reference price, TRY 217,270 — the value of 87.48 grams of gold priced at TRY 2,484 the gram. Gold trades daily, and the calculator's live TRY value on your due date is the binding one. The gold threshold is the higher of the two Nisabs; and for wealth held purely as gold it is the agreed test in every school.
For cash, savings and mixed wealth, start with silver (TRY 19,504) since it brings more wealth into the duty and directs more to the poor. Gold-only wealth is tested against the gold Nisab by agreement. The calculator displays both TRY figures side by side so take the pair of numbers to a scholar you trust rather than choosing by the size of the bill.
Your due date is personal, not national: the Hijri anniversary of the day your net wealth first crossed the Nisab. The lunar year is 354 days, in Gregorian terms the date arrives about eleven days sooner each year. Many people in Turkey choose Ramadan for the reward — Ramadan 2027 begins on 8 February 2027 — 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 Turkey 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 Turkey, keep the confirmation email or receipt with your calculation report, and record the Hijri date of payment as well as the Gregorian one.
Every day's six times for the capital — Fajr to Isha — are tabulated on the Ramadan 2027 timetable for Turkey, thirty rows for the capital, from the first Fajr on 8 February 2027 to the last Maghrib of the month. The table is computed for the capital, so distance matters: if you live far from it, allow for your local difference or check your mosque's timetable.
