A very prominent and respectable Fiqh scholar of today. These problems demand that their Shariah aspects be described so that masses can get answer to these tricky questions. A part from mammals, cash, agricultural produce and fruits, some new sources of income have also come up. High buildings and skyscrapers are today built to be let on hire.

In the above para, the learned scholar has pointed out the need for a revision of kinds of assets liable to Zakat. Similarly it is also necessary that with changing market standards and economics, the minimum limit of holding, on which Zakat is due, should also be looked into afresh. Since then, silver has gone down considerably while the others have remained more or less stable in value. Moreover, gold has now become a standard for currencies, the world over. It is therefore appropriate that a capital holding or a business asset equivalent to 7.5 tolas or 85 grams of gold in value, whether in the form of gold or silver or cash or other growing business assets should now be considered as Nisab of Zakat.
