Increase in the Type of Zakat Wealth
What is the amount of zakat on an amount of two thousand dinars that has been saved for a full lunar year, and also on one thousand dinars that has been saved for nine months? Is there zakat due on it? What is the nisab, and is it permissible to give zakat to relatives such as those from the womb? I know that I give my relatives out of a sense of duty, not from zakat, so should I give them from zakat money?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: You are not obligated to pay zakat if you do not own the nisab, which is an amount of 100 grams of gold, and a year has passed on it. It does not appear from your question that you own that, and the zakat is 2.5%. It is permissible to give zakat to relatives if they are poor, and God knows best.
