the consideration of their value, except for what was narrated from ‘Ata’, Tawus, al-Zuhri, Sulayman ibn Harb, and Ayyub al-Sakhtiyani, who said: It is determined by silver, so whatever has a value of two hundred dirhams is subject to Zakat, and otherwise it is not; because there is no established valuation for its nisab from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), so it was determined that he related it to silver. Our evidence is what ‘Amr ibn Shu‘ayb narrated from his father, from his grandfather, from the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), who said: "There is no Sadaqah on less than twenty mithqals of gold, nor on less than two hundred dirhams." It was narrated by Abu ‘Ubayd. Ibn Majah narrated from [Ibn] ‘Umar and ‘Aisha that the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) used to take half a dinar from every twenty dinars and upward, and [one dinar] from forty dinars. Sa‘id and al-Athram narrated from ‘Ali: "On every forty dinars there is a dinar, and on every twenty dinars there is half a dinar." Others also narrated this as a report attributed to the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). Furthermore, it is property upon which Zakat is mandatory in its own essence, so it is not assessed by anything else, just like all other zakatable wealth.

Section: Whoever owns gold or silver that is adulterated or mixed with something else, there is no Zakat upon it until the quantity of the gold and silver reaches a nisab, due to his (peace be upon him) saying: "There is no Sadaqah on less than five awaq of silver."
