The minimum amount subject to Ḥuqúqu’lláh is reached when one’s possessions are worth the number of Váḥid; 1 that is, whenever one owneth nineteen mithqáls of gold, or acquireth possessions attaining this value, after having deducted therefrom the yearly expenses, the Ḥuqúq becometh applicable and its payment is obligatory.
