A common question that comes in from listeners is the soul searching question of “how much should I donate?” There are lots of ways to make that decision, for example, by studying various religious and cultural practices. In today’s episode, the concept of zakat, the third pillar of Islam will be discussed. This is the religious obligation to donate 2.5% of your wealth above a minimum threshold.
Tune in today to learn about how zakat is calculated and the guidelines for who can give and who can receive. Whether or not you practice this faith or any faith at all, sometimes it can be helpful to get a peek into how other people make their giving decisions.
