So, if the wealth reaches the value of two hundred dirhams (595 grams of silver) or twenty mithqals (85 grams of gold) and a full year has passed over it, then zakat of a quarter of a tenth (2.5%) becomes obligatory on it, whether it is in dinars or dollars, by associating currency with gold and silver, and it is measured by what is most beneficial for the poor.
