Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !
(Fatwa: 1101/1029/B=10/1438)
612 gram and 360 milligram silver is the original nisab. If someone has silver in this quantity then he is rich as per the Shariah and it is wajib on him to pay the fortieth part as zakah. The advanced amount of rented house which is deposited shall be counted as his saving and when he receives it the zakah of previous years shall be wajib on it. If someone has less than 612 gram and 360 milligram silver then he is not sahib-e-nisab, such person is eligible to receive zakah.
