Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man has old currency that has remained with him, and he has kept it for years, and it is more than the nisab (the minimum threshold for zakah). Does he have to pay its zakah?
Answer:
Yes, money. Zakah is obligatory on it. When every lunar year of possession (hawl) is completed, if it reaches the nisab or more. Then zakah is obligatory on it every year. As long as it is current currency that is used and has not been abolished, then it is subject to zakah; because it takes the ruling of gold and silver; because it is a substitute for what takes its ruling, yes.
