Nisab (Minimum Income Bracket) For Zakat
There is no such threshold in the U.S. In 2023, the minimum federal tax rate for individuals in the U.S. is 10% for annual incomes up to $11,000. 10% Zakat is not due on everyone; it is only due on production made with only labor or only investment . The mode of production back in the time of Prophet Muhammad SAW was through land (farming). Today, production takes place in many other ways as well, for example, through services provided by individuals or companies, as well as through employment. Ghamidi sahab has, therefore, made an ijtihad that all such activities that produce wealth should be subject to Zakat. If in a given country the lowest income tax bracket is non-existent or very low then people have the right to work to persuade their governments to change the law. However, such a bracket could not have been established through divine decree because it has to vary with time and according to the economic conditions of a country.
