Chapter on Categories Upon Whom Zakat is Obligatory
وَ سَأَلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ أَخَاهُ مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُعْطِي زَكَاتَهُ عَنِ اَلدَّرَاهِمِ دَنَانِيرَ وَ عَنِ اَلدَّنَانِيرِ دَرَاهِمَ بِالْقِيمَةِ أَ يَحِلُّ ذَلِكَ قَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ بِهِ».
Ali ibn Ja'far asked his brother Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim عليه السلام about a man who gives his Zakat for dirhams in the form of dinars, and for dinars in the form of dirhams, based on their value. Imam عليه السلام replied: "There is no issue with that."
