Summary
The Melaka fatwa states that the nisab for wealth zakat tied to the gold standard for the current year is calculated from the average annual nisab of the previous Gregorian calendar year. The method has two steps. First, the monthly nisab is found by multiplying the total monthly gold price by the gold nisab and dividing by the number of trading days. Second, the previous year's monthly nisab figures are totalled and divided by 12 to give the current year's nisab.
