ANSWER:

You must add the gold to the cash and give zakat on both.

QUESTION: Sheikh. I have cash that is Alhamdulillah above the Nisab. I also have 25 grams of gold (which is below the Nisab). Must I combine the dollar value of both and pay Zakat for everything or only pay Zakat on the cash I have? Basically, do we pay Zakat on the total value of all our Zakatable assets or do we pay Zakat on only assets above the Nisab?
