The Consideration in the Completion of the Year in the Hijri Calendar

Question
What is considered in the completion of the year regarding the threshold, the Hijri year or the Gregorian year?
Answer
I say, and with Allah's guidance: There is no zakat on one who possesses the nisab unless a complete lunar year has passed since the day the wealth reached the nisab. See: Red al-Muhtar (2: 8), Al-Bahr al-Ra'iq (2: 222), Fath Bab al-'Inaya bi Sharh al-Niqaya (1: 505), and Tabyin al-Haqaiq (1: 253), and Allah knows best.
