Nisab Today in CNY
The live zakat threshold in Chinese Yuan, from today's gold and silver prices (2026-08-13).
How to use these numbers
If your zakatable wealth in Chinese Yuan — cash in CNY, 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 (8,326 CNY today) so that zakat reaches more people.

Frequently asked questions
What is the nisab in CNY today?+
Using the gold standard (85 g of pure gold), today's nisab is about 80,214 CNY. Using the silver standard (595 g) it is about 8,326 CNY. Figures refresh daily with metal prices and the CNY 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 Chinese Yuan change?+
Two moving parts: the global gold/silver price, and the CNY exchange rate. Both update daily, so a nisab figure published months ago can be far off — this page always shows today's value.
