Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions, and upon those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment. What do you say about a man who has half the nisab of gold and half the nisab of silver? Is zakah obligatory on him?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : The stronger position is that there is no zakah on him, and your statement indicates that there is a weaker position.
The questioner : That there is zakah on him.
The Shaykh : That there is zakah on him. On what basis are the two positions built?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : The two positions are built on whether gold is added to silver to complete the nisab or not. Now, if we say it is added.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, no. If we say it is added, is zakah obligatory or not?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : In completing the nisab.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : And if we say it is not added, zakah is not obligatory, correct? Now, is the addition by weight or by value? Khalil?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : No, it is not in either case.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : By weight, and the second position?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : By value. What is the difference between them? I mean, give me an example that clarifies the difference between the two positions.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : I mean, it equals two-thirds of the nisab of silver.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : It is not obligatory, is his statement correct?
The questioner : Correct.
The Shaykh : Correct. Now, the correct view is that it is not added. What is the evidence that makes this correct position stronger? Yes, go ahead.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Yes,Sunan an-Nasa'i 2486Sahih (Darussalam), Now, continue. This is one, this is evidence, yes?
The questioner : His saying (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : This is regarding gold.
The questioner : Regarding gold.
The Shaykh : And we know about silver, the brother mentioned it.
The questioner : And also the evidence of qiyas (analogical reasoning). Does it have... the correct qiyas which does not... to barley, and also the planting of... the intended meaning is one. We mentioned in one intended meaning...
The Shaykh : One intended meaning, and yet it is not added.
The questioner : A type is not added to another type.
The Shaykh : Well done.
The questioner : And this is a type, not...
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you. So the evidence is a text and qiyas. That is all. What is the evidence of those who say it is added? Yes, answer. Did you not attend the lesson? If you attended, review it. May Allah reward you with good. Yes?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : And the intended meaning in it is one. Now, we have refuted this position. Is the value of trade goods added to them? Zuhair?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Now, why? Why is it added?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Correct, because trade goods are not intended for their specific items, as evidenced by the fact that they are sold and bought. He buys them in the morning and sells them at the end of the day, so the value of the trade goods is added to each of them. Now, a man—Khalid—a man has one-third of the nisab of gold, one-third of the nisab of silver, and one-third of the nisab of trade goods. Is there zakah on him?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : According to the stronger position?
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Do you agree with him? One-third of the nisab of gold, one-third of the nisab of silver, and one-third of the nisab of trade goods. He says there is zakah on him according to the stronger position.
The questioner : If he has...
The Shaykh : What are trade goods? Gold and silver are kept...
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : There is nothing on him.
The questioner : If it is the trade goods themselves.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : There is nothing on him. He has... gold and silver...
The Shaykh : Do not look at this. The point is, one-third of the nisab of gold, one-third of the nisab of silver, and one-third of the nisab of trade goods.
The questioner : Are gold and silver trade goods?
The Shaykh : They are not trade goods.
The questioner : They are sold and bought.
The Shaykh : No, no, absolutely not. A person who loves to collect gold and silver and has collected it for him.
The questioner : There is zakah on it.
The Shaykh : Is there zakah in it?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : According to which position?
The questioner : According to the stronger position.
The Shaykh : According to the stronger position. As for the weaker position? There is no zakah in it.

The Shaykh : No, because it is according to the stronger position.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : And the second position, the one that says add?

The questioner : Yes, yes, we read it.
The Shaykh : This is the beginning of the lesson.
