  • How To Give Zakat On Earning From Freelance Projects

    Posted by Hamza Ali on September 9, 2025 at 4:42 pm

    I work as a web developer, providing services to international clients. However, since I’m just starting out, my income isn’t fixed or predictable at the moment. I don’t have a regular monthly salary, and my earnings vary depending on the projects I take on. Right now, I’m living with my parents, which keeps my expenses low, and I’m able to save a portion of my income.

    From what I understand, I’m eligible to give zakat because my earnings are sufficient for that purpose. But I’m unsure about how to calculate the zakat properly. Specifically, should I base the zakat calculation on the total amount of money I currently have in my bank account, or is there a different way I should approach this? Also, as my income increases in the future, how should I handle zakat on my earnings and savings over time?

    Zakat on wealth/savings and Zakat on production/earnings are two different domains subject to Zakat.

    Please read the following reply to understand their nature and how Zakat is calculated for each of these heads:
