The Nisab of Zakah in Wealth and Real Estate

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the nisab of zakah calculated on money only, or on money, gold, real estate, and cars?

Answer:
Zakah is due on livestock, which are camels, cattle, and sheep. It is due on the two currencies, gold and silver, and on paper money. It is due on what is brought out of the earth, on what is brought out of the earth. It is also due on trade goods, which are the commodities prepared for sale. If you have money and you have commodities that you prepare for trade, then, if the lunar year completes for all of it, you appraise or value the commodities at what they are worth when the hawl is completed, and you pay out one-quarter of a tenth from all of it, from the money and from the value of the commodities offered for sale. You pay out one-quarter of a tenth. Yes.
