What is the Zakat threshold (nisab) for various types of grains and dates in kilograms, and for oils in liters?
The threshold for grains and fruits is five hundred wasaqs, and a wasaq is sixty sa's by consensus, so the threshold is three hundred sa's.
Contemporary estimations of the Prophetic sa' differ, with some estimating it at 2.04 kilograms of wheat, and others at 2.176 kilograms.
According to the first estimation, the threshold would be 612 kilograms, and according to the second estimation, it would be 652.8 kilograms.
To calculate the threshold, fill containers that hold the Prophetic sa' (either 2.04 kg or 2.176 kg) with medium-grade wheat, then multiply the result by 300.
As for oils, their zakat is due if the olives reach the threshold. One-tenth must be given if irrigated without cost, and half of that if irrigated with cost. Zakat is given from either the oil or the olives.
If you wish to give oil for olives, you must press them first, then give one-tenth of the oil or half of it.
