Turkey follows the Hanafi school. The Diyanet (Presidency of Religious Affairs) publishes annual Nisab values and Zakat guidance. Gold is culturally important — Cumhuriyet, Ceyrek, and Yarim coins are common holdings. Many families hold Tam Altin coins. The Turkish gold market is active with prices broadcast daily on TV. Zakat (Zekat in Turkish) is calculated on all gold including wedding jewelry under the Hanafi position.
