If a person has one hundred Egyptian pounds, what is the zakah on it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. If a person has, for example, one hundred Egyptian pounds, for example, Shaykh Salih, what is the zakah on it?
The Shaykh:
I do not know the exchange rate of one hundred pounds to one hundred and forty mithqals of silver. This depends on the price of silver for each container according to its value.
The questioner:
If the riyal is equal to the pound, or the pound is slightly more than the riyal, Shaykh Salih?
The Shaykh:
The riyal of the two.
The questioner:
The Saudi riyal.
The Shaykh:
The Saudi riyal. The nisab (minimum threshold for zakah) of the Saudi riyal in silver is 56 riyals. Yes, 56 riyals of silver. The Saudi riyal, this is the nisab. Then one looks at what is equivalent to this nisab in the currency in use and paper money. So, if what a person has reaches the equivalent of 56 Saudi silver riyals, then the zakah becomes obligatory upon him.
