    A person who is a Muslim, sane and mature, independent, has wealth equal to the nisab, if the wealth is more than the basic needs and if a whole year has passed on this wealth, zakat is obligatory on him. Or fifty-two and a half tolas of silver, or the value of both equal to the value of one of them, or the value of one of the two, or a commodity of trade, or all of them together or some of them together, the total value being equal to the value of silver.

    The description is as follows: Zakat on seven and a half tolas of gold is applicable when one owns only gold, and does not possess any property of any other kind, but if there is some other property along with gold, then zakat is obligatory. The orbit will be fifty-two and a half tolas of silver. In other words, if someone has less than seven and a half tolas of gold and has no cash, silver or trading goods at all, then this person will not be required to pay zakat. If there is money or goods of trade, then the nisab for it is worth fifty-two and a half tolas of silver, so if the value of this gold and other items is equal to fifty-two and a half tolas of silver, then it will be obligatory to give zakat.
