The questioner : Your Eminence, how much is a dirham in Saudi riyals now?
And what is the nisab for zakah in Saudi riyals?
The Shaykh : Yes, they say: two hundred dirhams equal fifty-six Saudi riyals, meaning their weight is fifty-six Saudi riyals. That is it; fifty-six riyals. Two hundred Islamic dirhams weigh fifty-six Saudi riyals in silver.
So, on this basis, the nisab is fifty-six riyals. This varies from time to time; silver may be expensive, reaching, for example, four hundred paper riyals, or it may be cheap and drop. The important thing is that you consider the nisab in silver, which is fifty-six riyals.
