Zakat on Cash at Home
Cash kept at home is zakatable, just like money in a bank account. Include all physical currency when calculating Zakat.
Whether you keep money under your mattress, in a safe, or hidden away, it counts as zakatable wealth. Add it to your total when calculating Zakat.
Why Cash at Home Is Zakatable
It is wealth in your possession.
Zakat is due on money you own and control. It does not matter where you keep it. Cash at home is no different from cash in a bank account. If your total wealth is above nisab for one year, Zakat is due.
