Do children have to give zakat?

Children are not required to give zakat, as it is obligatory only for those who meet the nisab (minimum threshold of wealth) and have reached the age of maturity. However, parents or guardians can encourage children to practice giving zakat as a way to instill the values of charity and generosity. It's a good opportunity to teach them about the importance of helping those in need. Ultimately, the obligation lies with individuals who have the financial capacity to give.
