There are two main types of Zakah in Islam:
1. Zakat al-Fitr: This is a form of charity that is obligatory for every Muslim to give before the end of Ramadan. It is meant to purify the fasting person from any indecent act or speech and to help those in need during the Eid al-Fitr celebration.
2. Zakat al-Maal: This is the more common form of Zakah, which is a mandatory charitable contribution based on a person's wealth and assets. It is typically calculated as 2.5% of a person's savings, investments, and other assets that have been held for a full lunar year. Zakat al-Maal is meant to help those in need and to purify the wealth of the giver.
