Zakat al mal made up 0.2% of the total revenue collected by the government in January.
In the past year, the government collected a lump sum total of MVR 60,420,287; this made up 0.6% of the government's total revenue.
The nisab of zakat al mal in the Maldives is MVR 6,961.5. Muslims pay out 2.5% of all accumulated wealth that exceeds the nisaab amount every year, and it is a fundamental obligation on all believers.
It is noteworthy that relatively few people pay zakat al mal in the Maldives.
