Zakat al-Mal, commonly known as Zakat, becomes due when a person’s wealth reaches the nisab amount and can be paid anytime during the year. On the other hand, Zakat al-Fitr is paid by the head of the household for each member of the family before the Eid al-Fitr prayer, and the amount for 2023 is $17. We recommend that you consult with your local imam or scholar for further clarification on the exact amounts applicable to your particular circumstances.
