The Nisab of Zakah on Gold and Silver
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and bless you. The questioner, A. A., asks: 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? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
There is no disagreement regarding the obligation of zakah on gold and silver, so there is no need to state the stronger position; rather, 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 threshold (nisab). This is the threshold at which zakah becomes obligatory on gold and silver, and there is no disagreement on this point.
