Explanation

According to Islamic law (Sharia), Zakat is compulsory charity calculated at 2.5% of a Muslim's surplus wealth accumulated over a lunar year. This is one of the Five Pillars of Islam and must be paid on savings, gold, silver, business merchandise, and livestock above certain thresholds. The rate is specifically mentioned as 'one-fortieth' (2.5%) in Islamic jurisprudence texts, not 1% or fixed amounts.
