Summary
Nuqra, in the lexicon, is a piece of gold or silver melted down. 1
Rulings on nuqra
Zakat is due once it reaches the threshold and is combined with coins of the same metal. 1 Selling it for coin of its kind, or coin for it, follows the rules of exchange. 1 2 Partnership with nuqra as capital is valid for the Hanafis, Malikis and a Hanbali view if it circulates like coin; disallowed by the Shafi'i rival view and the Hanbali school. 2
