Questions
Silver or gold nisab?
The silver nisab (612.36 g) is lower and is preferred by many scholars as it benefits more recipients; the gold nisab is 87.48 g. Ask your scholar which applies to you.
Is zakat due on my house or car?
Generally no — personal-use property such as your home, car and household items is not zakatable. Property held for resale is.
Where do I get the silver price?
Ask a local jeweller for today's per-gram rate. Our silver page shows a clearly labelled spot-based estimate when the feed is available.
