The Nisab of Gold and Silver

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the amount of the nisab for currency?

Answer:
Gold is twenty mithqals, which amounts to ninety-two grams. The amount of the nisab in Saudi riyals is eleven and three-sevenths of a riyal. There is no harm in expressing it as eleven and a half, because the difference between one-half and three-sevenths is slight. So this is the nisab: eleven and a half riyals, because it is clearer for the general public to calculate using halves. This is the nisab in riyals. It is twenty mithqals, and in grams, it is ninety-two grams.
As for silver, its nisab is one hundred and forty mithqals. In Saudi silver riyals, it is fifty-six silver riyals. In grams, it is seven times the nisab of gold: one hundred and forty mithqals, one hundred and forty mithqals, six hundred and forty-four grams. Yes. Six hundred and forty grams is the result of multiplying seven by twenty. Yes. Six hundred and forty-four grams, six hundred and forty-four grams, yes, meaning: silver. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
