Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. I asked about the price of a gram of 18-karat gold and found that it is less than a gram of 21-karat gold by approximately thirty riyals. So how can their nisab be the same?
Answer:
We take the nisab by value. The nisab by weight is ninety-three grams. This is the nisab of gold, twenty mithqals, which amounts to ninety-three grams in modern measurements. As for what is by value, that is by weight. Yes.
