Question
My wife has gold equal to the Zakaat Nisaab. Although she has cash, it is less than Nisaab. Should she pay Zakaat on the cash as well?
Answer
Yes, your wife must pay Zakaat on her cash even if it is less than the Nisaab value. Since she has the Nisaab in gold, Zakaat becomes payable on all her Zakaat assets irrespective of the other assets individually being less than Nisaab.
