Algeria has significantly increased the threshold for Zakat el-Maal, a form of Islamic almsgiving, from 731,000 Algerian dinars (DZD) to nearly 2.3 million DZD within five years. This represents a more than threefold increase, impacting the number of Muslims eligible to pay the religious obligation. The *nisab*, the minimum wealth required to be eligible for Zakat, has risen sharply. This change affects individuals possessing assets exceeding the new threshold, requiring them to contribute a portion of their wealth to those in need. The increase is likely linked to economic factors and inflation within Algeria. Details regarding the precise reasons for the adjustment and its implementation are still emerging, but the change will have a considerable impact on wealth distribution within the country’s Muslim community. Further information is expected to be released by Algerian religious authorities.
