Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this person asks and says: My brother has currency from different countries that he has collected since he was young, and it is a hobby of his that has been going on for years, and they have accumulated. Is there zakah on them?
Answer:
If they have value and he intends to sell them, and they have value, then he must appraise them at their worth and pay zakah on them. But if they are merely items he keeps and does not intend to sell, then there is nothing due on them. Yes.
