Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: Umar ibn Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) appointed me to collect charity. He ordered me to take half a dinar for every twenty dinars and, if the amount increased to four dinars, to take one dirham. He also ordered me to take five dirhams for every two hundred dirhams and, if the amount increased to forty dirhams, to take one dirham. [Narrated by Abu Ubaid Al-Qasim ibn Salam in Kitab Al-Amwal]
In Ahkam Abd Al-Haqq, it is narrated from Abdullah and Muhammad, the sons of Abu Bakr ibn Amr ibn Hazm, from their father, from their grandfather, that the Prophet (ﷺ) wrote this letter to Amr ibn Hazm when he appointed him over Yemen. It stated: “There is no charity due until the amount reaches two hundred dirhams. When it reaches two hundred dirhams, the charity is five dirhams. For any amount exceeding that, the charity is one dirham for every forty dirhams. There is no charity due on less than forty dirhams.”
