What is the zakat-liable threshold (nisab) for gold, and is the commonly circulated information correct that the nisab for gold is 85 grams of 24-karat, or 97.14 grams of 21-karat, or 113.33 grams of 18-karat?

The standard measure for determining the zakat threshold for gold is 24-karat, because other karats are mixed with other metals and minerals. To ascertain the threshold upon which zakat becomes obligatory, multiply the number of grams by the karat present, then divide the result by 24. If the result is 85 grams or more, then zakat has become obligatory.
