The Concept of Nisab
Nisab is the minimum amount of wealth a Muslim must possess before they are required to pay Zakat. The threshold is usually equivalent to 87.48 grams of gold or 612.36 grams of silver. In modern terms, most scholars recommend using the silver threshold for the benefit of the poor.
