The Nisab of Zakah on Gold and Silver
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. The questioner says: What is the amount of gold and silver for which zakah becomes obligatory, and what is the stronger position regarding the zakah of gold and silver?
Answer:
There is no disagreement on the obligation of zakah on gold and silver, so there is no need to seek the stronger position; it is a matter of scholarly consensus. When gold reaches twenty mithqals and silver reaches two hundred dirhams, which is one hundred and forty mithqals, zakah becomes obligatory on it. This is the minimum nisab; this is the threshold that, when gold and silver reach it, zakah becomes obligatory on them. There has been no disagreement on this point. Yes.
