If a year (hawl) has passed on the merchandise, appraise it at its current market value. Add the expected receivables, deducting them from the outstanding debts owed to others. If the remaining amount reaches the threshold (nisab) of gold (85 grams), then zakat becomes obligatory; otherwise, it does not. The zakat year is the lunar year.
