How Shafi’i / Hanbali differs from Hanafi5

  • Gold nisab

    Shafi’i / Hanbali: Gold nisab is 20 mithqal, about 85 g of pure gold.

    Hanafi: Gold nisab is 7.5 tola, 87.48 g of pure gold.

  • Silver nisab

    Shafi’i / Hanbali: Silver nisab is 200 dirhams, about 595 g of pure silver.

    Hanafi: Silver nisab is 52.5 tola, 612.36 g of pure silver.

  • Worn gold jewelry

    Shafi’i / Hanbali: Gold jewelry worn regularly for permissible personal use is not zakatable.

    Hanafi: All gold jewelry is zakatable, even if worn, once it reaches nisab.

  • Worn silver jewelry

    Shafi’i / Hanbali: Silver jewelry worn regularly for permissible personal use is not zakatable.

    Hanafi: All silver jewelry is zakatable, even if worn, once it reaches nisab.

  • Long-term investments

    Shafi’i / Hanbali: Long-term investments are counted at full market value, the cautious position.

    Hanafi: For long-term holdings, only the share of the company’s zakatable assets is counted. 25% of market value is used as an estimate.
