Zakat and purification

What is purification, and do I owe it?

Answered by the ShariaQuant team

Purification means giving away the portion of your income that came from a prohibited source, without counting it as charity or expecting reward for it. Almost every otherwise halal asset carries a small purification duty, and almost nobody pays it.

This is Shariah screening and education, not financial advice. Rulings on newer products differ between scholars, so where a question is disputed we say so rather than pick a side for you. If your situation is unusual, ask your own scholar.
