Ushr Explained
What Is Ushr?
Zakat on Crops
Ushr is the Zakat due on agricultural produce — grains, fruits, vegetables, and other crops harvested from the land.
10% or 5%
10% if your land is rain-fed (no irrigation cost). 5% if you irrigate with tube wells, canals, or paid water sources.
Due at Harvest
Unlike Zakat on wealth, Ushr is due when you harvest — not after a full lunar year. Pay once per harvest.
Irrigation Rate Comparison
Rain-Fed vs Irrigated Land
The Ushr rate depends on how much effort and cost goes into irrigation.
| Land Type | Water Source | Ushr Rate | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rain-Fed (Barani) | Natural rainfall or river flow | 10% | Barani areas of Punjab & KPK |
| Irrigated | Tube well, canal, paid irrigation | 5% | Indus Basin canal areas, tube wells |

Frequently Asked Questions
Ushr is the Zakat on agricultural produce. Every Muslim farmer whose harvest reaches the Nisab (5 Wasq = approx. 653 kg) must pay Ushr — 10% if the land is rain-fed, 5% if irrigated with cost.
The Nisab for Ushr is 5 Wasq, which is approximately 653 kg of wheat or its equivalent value. In 2026, this is around PKR 179,000 based on current wheat prices. If your harvest value is below this, Ushr is not obligatory.
Scholars differ. Some allow deduction of direct costs (seeds, fertilizer, labor) before calculating Ushr. Others say Ushr is due on the full harvest value. The Hanafi position generally allows deduction of cultivation expenses. Consult a scholar for your specific situation.
Ushr is due at the time of harvest — not after a lunar year. As soon as crops are harvested and their value reaches Nisab, Ushr becomes payable. It should be paid before consuming or selling the entire harvest.
Yes. According to the Hanafi school, Ushr applies to all produce of the earth — grains, fruits, vegetables, and pulses. Other schools limit it to staple crops. Our calculator supports all crop types.
Yes — the original practice is to give 10% or 5% of the actual harvested crop. Today, many scholars allow giving the equivalent market value in cash, which is more practical for organizations to distribute efficiently.
Ushr is calculated per harvest, not per year. If you have multiple harvests (e.g., wheat in spring, rice in autumn), calculate Ushr for each — but the Nisab applies to the combined value if the harvests are from the same land in one season.
