is not obligatory unless the wealth reaches the (minimum threshold) and a hawl (full lunar year) passes over it. The nisab for banknotes and similar assets is equivalent to the value of 85 grams of gold. To determine the nisab, one can consult scholars or follow gold prices. If the wealth reaches the nisab and a hawl passes over it, zakat becomes obligatory. The method for calculating a quarter of a tenth (2.5%) is by dividing the wealth by forty.
