The WeeStox Zakat calculator estimates 2.5% of the positive net value you enter for eligible assets and deductible liabilities. Enter monetary values rather than grams, and verify Nisab, the lunar-year condition and the appropriate treatment of investments separately.

No. Data can be delayed, and reporting dates differ between prices, company financials and IPO updates. Check each report’s timestamp and verify transaction prices with your broker or dealer. Do not interpret a marketing preview as an executable quote.

WeeStox evaluates NSE and BSE equities against internationally recognized AAOIFI Standard No. 21 criteria. This involves a rigorous two-tier audit: (1) Core business activity screening to eliminate conventional banking, alcohol, gambling, adult entertainment, and tobacco; and (2) Financial ratio screening ensuring debt-to-market-cap is ≤33%, interest-earning deposits are ≤33%, and impermissible revenue is under 5%.

Top Indian companies that frequently meet AAOIFI Shariah screening criteria include Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys (INFY), HCL Technologies, Tata Motors, Sun Pharma, Cipla, and UltraTech Cement. You can explore real-time compliance status, debt ratios, and purification percentages for over 1,500+ listed equities on our Halal Stock Screener.

When a Shariah-compliant company earns minor interest income on cash deposits (under the 5% threshold), investors must purify their dividends. WeeStox automatically calculates the exact purification percentage: (Non-Permissible Income / Total Revenue) × Dividend Received. This amount must be donated to charitable causes without expecting spiritual reward.

Conventional Islamic jurisprudence (including AAOIFI and Fiqh academies) prohibits derivative trading (Futures & Options) and short selling due to Gharar (excessive uncertainty), Maisir (gambling elements), and selling assets not owned. WeeStox focuses exclusively on cash-delivery equity investing where the investor takes genuine ownership of shares.

Grey Market Premium (GMP) is the unofficial premium over the issue price at which IPO shares trade in the grey market prior to listing. Expected Listing Price = IPO Cut-off Price + GMP. For example, if an issue price is ₹200 and the live GMP is ₹50, the estimated listing price is ₹250 (+25%). WeeStox tracks daily GMP trends, Kostak rates, and subject-to-sauda quotes.

Our research desk analyzes the Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) and RHP of Mainboard and SME IPOs. We review the intended use of proceeds (OFS vs Fresh Issue debt repayment), existing balance sheet leverage, and commercial business models to determine compliance before the bidding window opens.

Gold and silver rates in India are determined by international spot bullion prices, import customs duties, and local bullion association premiums. WeeStox delivers city-wise live rates for 24K (999 pure gold), 22K (916 hallmarked jewellery gold), 18K gold, and Silver (per 1g, 10g, and 1kg) across Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, and other major cities.

Under Islamic finance (the Sarf rules), trading gold and silver requires immediate or prompt settlement (hand-to-hand/spot basis) without deferment. Physical gold bullion, coins, and Shariah-compliant vaulted gold with 100% physical backing and immediate title transfer are permissible, whereas leveraged gold margin trading is prohibited.

For short-term trading stocks held for capital gains, Zakat is calculated at 2.5% on the full market value on your Zakat valuation date. For long-term investments held for dividends, scholars recommend calculating 2.5% on the proportional liquid/zakatable assets (cash + inventory + receivables) of the company, or 2.5% on total dividends received. WeeStox provides a built-in Zakat calculator to automate this.

Nisab is the minimum wealth threshold that triggers Zakat liability after one lunar year (Hawl). Classical benchmarks are 85 grams of 24K gold or 595 grams of pure silver. In modern practice, most scholars recommend the silver Nisab (~₹50,000–₹60,000 based on current silver rates) to ensure more underprivileged families receive assistance. WeeStox tracks both benchmarks daily.

Equities market prices and IPO GMP update in real-time during market hours. Financial statement audits and debt ratios are updated quarterly following company filings on BSE and NSE. City metal prices are updated multiple times daily as bullion associations publish new spot rates.

Shariah screening operates as a rigorous fundamental safety filter. By enforcing a debt ceiling of ≤33% of market capitalization and eliminating predatory financial models, it systematically protects investors from over-leveraged bankruptcy traps, rising interest rate shocks, and opaque corporate accounting.
