The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. When does zakah become due on wealth? And what is the amount of wealth in which zakah becomes due?
The Shaykh:
Zakah on wealth becomes due when a lunar year has passed over it. Good. And the amount is reaching the nisab, which is, uh, two hundred dirhams by the Prophetic dirham. Good. Uh, or one hundred and forty mithqals. Good. That is, two hundred Prophetic dirhams equal one hundred and forty mithqals. Good. As for the currencies in circulation now, they differ.
The presenter:
All right.
The Shaykh:
So one asks what equals the nisab that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) specified?
The presenter:
O Allah, send blessings.
The Shaykh:
What equals it in each currency, and then the zakah is paid. Yes.
