The Least Amount of Zakat that One can Pay
Issue No. 1682- As an obligatory precaution, a zakāt payer should not give less than the first taxable limit of silver, that is, 3.5 mithqāls (equal to 12.09 gms), to one poor person, and if he is giving something other than silver as zakāt, (e.g., wheat and barley), its value should not be less than this quantity either.
