Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is Investment Zakat payment service?

The Investment Zakat payment service is an initiative by AIIMAN Asset Management Sdn Bhd (“AIIMAN”) to help investors calculate and pay zakat on their Investments (with AIIMAN only) to Lembaga Zakat Selangor (“LZS”). Meanwhile, for investments in other fund management and/or financial institutions, it is the responsibility of the respective investor to fulfil his/her Investment Zakat obligation on the assets.

Investors will need to complete the Investment Zakat payment service form provided by AIIMAN.

No. Investor only need to submit the Registration Form for Zakat Payment only once and this request shall be valid until the Investor submit the notice to discontinue with the Zakat payment services to AIIMAN.

No. Investor shall not incur any charges for these services.

The types of investments that shall be taken into account in the payment of Investment Zakat are individual single investment accounts in any AHAM Asset Management Berhad ("AHAM Capital") and AIIMAN shariah compliant fund and opened under cash plan with AIIMAN only.

The Investors shall be responsible for fulfilling the zakat obligations for joint accounts by themselves.

Investment accounts opened using funds from the Employee Provident Fund (“EPF”) or investment accounts established under the Private Retirement Scheme (“PRS”) are exempted from Zakat calculations.

Individual investors cannot combine Shariah compliant investment accounts opened both in AHAM Capital and AIIMAN for the purpose of investment Zakat deductions.

The Nisab for Investment Zakat is 85 grams of gold based on the gold market price determined by the LZS.

The rate of Investment Zakat is 2.5%.

2.5% of the total investment value (subject to reaches Nisab and Haul) as at 31 October every year will be redeemed for the purpose of Zakat payment. The formula of the Zakat calculation is in accordance with the fatwa (shariah ruling) issued by Jawatankuasa Fatwa Negeri Selangor (Majlis Agama Islam Selangor) pursuant to Section 47 of the Enactment of the Islamic Administration (State of Selangor) 2003, Volume 64 No.7, Item 4 vis-à-vis Method of Zakat Assessment that was gazetted on 31 March 2011.

The method of calculation of Investment Zakat has been agreed upon as follows between AIIMAN and LZS as follows:

Investment Zakat = Total Final Amount of Account Balances x Zakat Rate (2.5%)

The calculation of Investment Zakat is based on total amount of eligible account balance of the investor as at 31st of October each year. The annual 31st October date was chosen to allow Investors to make adjustments at the end of the year (“December”) to prevent the zakat for same account being paid twice.
