is obligatory on inherited money when the heir's share reaches the (minimum threshold) of gold (85 grams) or silver (595 grams), and a full lunar year (hawl) has passed on it. The amount of zakat is a quarter of a tenth (2.5%). However, if the amount falls below the nisab during the year, there is no zakat on it until it reaches the nisab again and a full year passes on it. There is no zakat on an inherited house.
