Nisab Today in BHD
The live zakat threshold in Bahraini Dinar, from today's gold and silver prices (2026-08-13).
How to use these numbers
If your zakatable wealth in Bahraini Dinar — cash in BHD, gold and silver, money owed to you, and business inventory — stays at or above the nisab for one full lunar year, zakat of 2.5% is due. Most scholars recommend checking against the lower silver figure (466 BHD today) so that zakat reaches more people.

Frequently asked questions
What is the nisab in BHD today?+
Using the gold standard (85 g of pure gold), today's nisab is about 4,485 BHD. Using the silver standard (595 g) it is about 466 BHD. Figures refresh daily with metal prices and the BHD exchange rate.
Gold or silver standard — which should I use?+
Most scholars recommend the silver nisab because it is lower — zakat becomes due sooner and more of the poor benefit. The gold standard is also valid.
Why does the nisab in Bahraini Dinar change?+
Two moving parts: the global gold/silver price, and the BHD exchange rate. Both update daily, so a nisab figure published months ago can be far off — this page always shows today's value.
