Title: It is well known that zakah is mandatory on those who are in possession of 7.5 tola of gold or 52.5 tola of silver

Question: It is well known that zakah is mandatory on those who are in possession of 7.5 tola of gold or 52.5 tola of silver. I wish to know whether a person who is not having above mentioned ornaments but he has made some savings and taken insurance policies, will have to pay zakah on his savings.

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1089/912/B=1433) If the amount deposited in saving or insurance policy is equal to 52.5 tola silver i.e. 26 or 27 thousand or more, then zakah shall be wajib on savings as well.
