Guide
How it works
In Islamic jurisprudence, Nisab is the minimum threshold of net wealth a Muslim must possess for a full lunar year (Hawl) before Zakat becomes obligatory. Prophetic tradition established two commodity benchmarks: 20 Mithqals of Gold and 200 Dirhams of Silver.
Exact Weight Conversions: Tolas, Grams & Troy Ounces
- Gold Nisab Standard: 7.5 Tolas = 87.48 Grams = 2.8125 Troy Ounces of 24K pure gold. Applies strictly when a person possesses only gold and zero cash, silver, or trade goods.
- Silver Nisab Standard: 52.5 Tolas = 612.36 Grams = 19.6875 Troy Ounces of pure silver. Applies whenever a person holds cash, bank savings, business inventory, shares, or a combination of gold and other wealth.
- Pakistan Bank Deduction Benchmark: Each year on the 1st of Ramadan, the Ministry of Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety in Pakistan announces the official federal Nisab figure based on the value of 52.5 tolas of silver.
Once you know your Nisab threshold, compute your 2.5% obligation across all asset classes using our Online Zakat Calculator.
Under the standardized South Asian metric conversion used by bullion associations in Pakistan and India, 1 Tola equals exactly 11.664 grams (so 7.5 tolas = 87.48 grams, and 52.5 tolas = 612.36 grams).
In the 7th century, 20 Mithqals of gold and 200 Dirhams of silver had equal purchasing power (a 1:10 gold-to-silver ratio). Because modern gold trades at roughly 70-85 times the price of silver, the 52.5-tola silver threshold is significantly lower in monetary terms.
Because you hold a combination of gold and cash (mixed Zakatable assets), your total combined net wealth is measured against the 52.5-tola Silver Nisab threshold.
