The answer

There is no on adulterated gold and silver until their pure content reaches the . This is the view of the majority of scholars, in contrast to Abu Hanifa, who holds that Zakat is obligatory if the adulterated metal reaches the nisab and the adulteration is less than half. The majority refutes Abu Hanifa's view by citing the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "There is no sadaqa (Zakat) on less than five awāq of silver."
