These funds are not to be added to complete the (threshold for ) due to their differing categories. Therefore, there is no zakat due on them as long as they are below the nisab. The nisab for gold is 85 grams, for sheep it is 40 sheep, and for camels it is 5 camels. However, if they are intended for trade, then they are added together and zakat for trade goods is due on them if their value reaches the nisab and a year has passed over them.
