Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh
 
You will only have to give zakah on gold if:

  • it is equal or more than the nisab of gold (i.e 87.479 grams) or if it is equal or more than the nisab of silver (i.e 612.35 grams). In other words, lesser of the two nisabs.
  • and you have it in your possession for one Islamic year.1
  • However, if you have assets on which the zakah is due, then no matter how much gold you have, you will have to add it to the rest of assets and calculate zakah on total amount.
