Frequently asked questions

A 2.5% annual deduction reduces the effective return by roughly two percentage points. Over thirty years that is a material difference, which is why purifying and paying zakat promptly matters.

Common standards include AAOIFI and the Dow Jones Islamic Market screens, which cap interest-bearing debt, cash and non-compliant revenue at around a third of assets. Pick one and stay consistent.
