Question:
The nisab of silver?
Answer:
The nisab is fifty-six Saudi Arabian riyals. If he gives from the silver, that suffices. Fifty-six and whatever exceeds that, meaning.
Q: Is it two thousand five hundred riyals?
The Shaykh: Yes, it is one-quarter of one-tenth. For one hundred, it is two and a half; for one thousand, it is twenty-five; and for forty thousand, it is one thousand, which is one-quarter of one-tenth. If he gives from it, like silver, he is more secure in fulfilling his obligation and more cautious. For every hundred of silver, it is two and a half.
Q: Some people say the minimum nisab is four hundred and fifty riyals.
The Shaykh: No, no, that is a mistake. The nisab of silver is fifty-six riyals. Its value in dollars or the existing paper currency, but if he gives from fifty-six or more, consider it like silver; okay.
