Zakat according to the Nisab of gold instead of the Nisab of silver

My question is that if we give Zakat according to the Nisab of gold instead of the Nisab of silver, will our Zakat not be accepted?

الجوابُ حامِدا ًو مُصلیِّا ً

If anyone possesses nothing else (like cash etc.) but pure gold or silver, then he has to give Zakat on his gold according to the Nisab of gold, and Zakat on silver according to the Nisab of silver. But if one possesses both gold and silver, or cash and merchandise along with gold and silver, and the total value of his cash, gold and silver, or merchandise reaches the value of the Nisab of silver, he will pay 2.5% of the value of his possession in Zakat after a year has passed upon it.

مأخَذُ الفَتوی

فی النتف فی الفتاوی: شروطھا فی المال: النصاب: و اما التی فی المال إحدھا النصاب الکامل و نصاب الذھب عشرون مثقالا و نصاب الفضۃ مائتا درھم و نصاب متاع التجارۃ إذا بلغ قیمتہ مائتی درھم او عشرون مثقالا من الذھب۔اھ (ص:۱۰۹)۔
و فی الدر المختار وحاشية ابن عابدين (رد المحتار) (2/ 303)
(وقيمة العرض) للتجارة (تضم إلى الثمنين) لأن الكل للتجارة وضعا وجعلا (و) يضم (الذهب إلى الفضة) وعكسه بجامع الثمنية (قيمة) وقالا بالأجزاء، فلو له مائة درهم وعشرة دنانير قيمتها مائة وأربعون تجب ستة عنده وخمسة عندهما۔ الخ
و فی بدائع الصنائع: و أما مقدار الواجب من ھذا النصاب فما ھو مقدارالواجب من نصاب الذھب و الفضۃ فکان الواجب فیہ ما ھو الواجب فی الذھب و الفضۃ و ھو ربع العشر، و لقول النبی- ﷺ -’’ ھاتوا ربع عشور أموالکم‘‘ من غیر فصل (۲/ ۲۱) و اللہ أعلم بالصواب
