Completing the Nisab of Gold with Currency in Zakah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: You mentioned in yesterday's lesson your position on completing the nisab of gold with currency. Is it obligatory to complete the nisab of gold?
The Shaykh:
What is this? Completing this by adding this to that and paying the zakah of the whole? Completing it? If one of the two currencies is below the nisab, you complete it from the other. But if the silver or currency (dirhams) is at the nisab or more, and you have gold, you pay zakah on the whole. This is called combining (al-dhamm), not completing. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. It has ended.
The Shaykh:
And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
