Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: What is the nisab for zakah in riyals?
Answer:
The nisab of silver is one hundred Islamic dirhams, which is one hundred and forty mithqals. In Saudi silver riyals, this amount is fifty-six riyals. Fifty-six Saudi silver riyals, or the equivalent in paper currency that matches the value of fifty-six silver riyals, because the exchange rate of silver fluctuates, increasing and decreasing, rising and falling. So he should ask, even though most of those who pay zakah have more than the nisab.
They have thousands, billions, and millions. They have them, but he does not; he has only the nisab, meaning he has only the equivalent of fifty-six riyals. This is a small amount. Yes, he pays zakah by giving one-quarter of a tenth, and he does not need to know the nisab. Yes.
