Zakat and Purification Tools in Context

How ZadVest derives indicative tax and dividend-purification estimates from the actual trades on your connected account, and why they stay informational rather than authoritative.

Indicative tax and purification estimates from your real trades can organize the bookkeeping, but the final ruling comes from qualified guidance.

Why purification belongs in your workflow

Even a company that passes Shariah screening can earn a small slice of income from impermissible sources — most commonly interest. Many scholars advise donating the corresponding portion of dividends received, a practice known as purification, so the investor's return reflects only permissible activity.

Zakat adds a second calculation: what is owed annually on eligible holdings. Both are easy to intend and tedious to track by hand, especially across many positions, partial fills, and scattered dividend dates. Tooling helps precisely because the bookkeeping is the hard part.

An indicative estimate from your actual trades

ZadVest computes an indicative estimate of both tax and dividend-purification amounts directly from the trades and dividends on your connected account — your real activity, not a hypothetical model portfolio. The numbers update as your account history does.

Where the underlying company data exists, the purification figure draws on each company's reported share of impermissible income. Where it does not, ZadVest shows nothing rather than inventing a value — an honest blank beats a confident guess, and that principle runs through the whole platform.

What these numbers are, and are not

Everything here is informational. The tax figure is an indicative estimate, not tax advice; the purification figure is a calculation aid, not a religious ruling. Rules differ by jurisdiction, by school of thought, and by personal circumstance, and no calculator resolves those differences for you.

Treat the estimates as a well-organized starting point: verify tax amounts with a qualified professional, and confirm purification and zakat treatment with a scholar you trust. ZadVest's job is to make the inputs accurate and visible — the final judgment stays with you and your advisors.
