How to calculate and send Zakat from Canada: A quick tip for international transfers

With Ramadan halfway over, many of us are starting to calculate our Zakat. A quick tip for those sending funds internationally to family or charities: don't wait until the 27th night to hit "send."

Between international bank holidays and processing times, the "last minute" can be unpredictable. If your platform allows it, schedule your transfers now. It ensures the money arrives exactly when it’s needed (well before Eid) without you having to manage apps during the busiest nights of worship.

If you’re looking for a way to automate this, most Canadian fintech apps like RemitBee now have a scheduling feature so you can set the date and focus on your prayers.

Hope this helps anyone currently doing their calculations! 🌙
