The answer

The lunar year, not the Gregorian year, is what is considered for . The threshold () for wealth must be determined solely by the Hijri year. The nisab for Zakat on money in the form of banknotes or trade goods is estimated according to what is more beneficial for the poor, whether it be the nisab of gold or silver. So, if the amount equals a nisab of silver and a lunar year has passed without it falling below the nisab, Zakat becomes obligatory.
