The Ruling on Zakah on Collected Arab and Foreign Coins Gathered as a Hobby
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: A man has a hobby of collecting Arab and foreign coins; it is purely a hobby, and these coins include some that are precious and some that are less so. Is zakah due on them if a lunar year has passed over them? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.
A: He is obligated to pay its zakah if a lunar year has passed over it and it reaches the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah); due to the generality of the evidence from the Book and the Sunnah; because it is in the ruling of currency if it is something that is transacted with, and it takes the place of currency like paper money. And Allah knows best.
