A man with Nisab gets additional wealth during the year. Is Zakah payable on it? PDF Print E-mail

Question 397) - A man with Nisab gets additional wealth during the year. Is Zakah payable on it?

A: He will add the additional wealth to the same type he ownsand calculate the Zakah.*

*The clause of the same type means an increase of a different type is not added together e.g. sheep are not added with camels. The increase is general in source. Thus a gain through inheritance, gift, sale, bequest etc are all added together. The discussion on two different currencies being added together will be discussed shortly. Trade goods will be added to one of the currencies as per their value. This is according to al-Bahr ar-Raiq (239/2). Gold, silver and goods are regarded as a single category. An increase in one is added to the rest.
