Zakaat - Rules and modern issues

Zakaat of gold and silver

We learn from the aforementioned discussion that the criterion of gold is 60 grams 755 milligrams and for silver, it is 425 grams 285 milligrams.  Giving the 40th part (i.e. 2.5%) of it as Zakaat is Obligatory.  To make it easy for understanding, we can say that Zakaat is Compulsory on 6 Tolas and about 1 gram of gold and on 42.5 Tolas of silver.

The 40th part of 60 grams 755 milligrams of gold is 1 gram 519 milligrams.  The 40th part of the criterion of silver is 10 grams 632 milligrams.
