Frequently Asked Questions

Is Zakat due on cryptocurrency?

Yes. There is broad scholarly consensus that cryptocurrency is zakatable wealth (mal). This applies even among scholars who consider crypto trading impermissible β€” the asset is still zakatable.

How do I calculate Zakat on Bitcoin in Kuwait?

Convert your Bitcoin holdings to KWD at market value on your Zakat date. If the total exceeds nisab and you've held it for one lunar year, pay 2.5% as Zakat.

Are NFTs and utility tokens zakatable?

NFTs held as investments or for resale are generally zakatable at market value. Utility tokens purchased for personal use (not resale) may not be zakatable. Consult a knowledgeable scholar for specific token rulings.
