On which cost should zakah be paid for 10gm of gold: market price or sale price?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
My question is on which cost of gold either the cost of today market purchasing rates or on the rates of gold sell I have to pay the zakah? For example, if I have 10 gm of gold the today’s market price is Rs.28000.00 approx. And if I am going to sell this gold the shopkeeper purchases not more than Rs.27000.00. So on which cost of gold I may pay the zakah on Rs. 28000.00 or on Rs.27000.00?

Answer

(Fatwa: 1841/1159/D=1432)

You will have to pay your zakah on 28000 as per the market rate.
