I have no income but some savings. Do I need to pay zakat?

Assalamu alaikum. I haven't paid zakat in a long time. Honestly, I don't really understand how it works, like when you calculate zakat on income and savings. Anyway, I don't have an income right now, and as a man, am I obligated to pay zakat? I don't have much savings.

Zakat is fard on every Muslim who has nisab, man or woman. If your savings are above threshold, pay 2.5%. No job doesn't exempt you if you have money sitting.

Bro, zakat is on your savings if they reach nisab and a year passes. No income means no zakat on income. Check your savings amount.

You only pay zakat if your total zakatable wealth (savings, gold, etc.) is above nisab for a full Islamic year. No income doesn't matter.

Bro, even without income, if you have savings above nisab you must pay. Zakat is about wealth, not income. May Allah ease your situation.

If you have no income and little savings, probably no zakat due. But calculate: gold/silver nisab. Ask a scholar.
