Q: If a person has a certain amount of cash only, has he to base his calculation for determining the nisaab based on existing rate of silver or gold? The reason is there is a vast difference in the market rate of a gram of silver and a gram of gold. Please advise. Jazakalkah.
A: If one possesses zakaatable wealth to the value of 200 Dirhams of silver (i.e. 612,36g of silver), then zakaat is waajib upon him.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
