Zakah on the price of a wife's gold
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says, may Allah bless you: In his last question, Abu Ali says: My wife gave me some gold, so I sold it for four thousand and two hundred riyals. The amount has been with me for more than two years because I consumed it or benefited from it with her permission. Is there zakah on it?
The Shaykh:
Yes, the zakah is obligatory on her, the owner of the amount. As for you, nothing is obligatory on you, because you are merely the seller and the trustee. The zakah on this amount is obligatory on its owner for every year, at a rate of one-quarter of a tenth. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: The observation is that the gold is used and worn.
The Shaykh:
But since she sold it and you kept the proceeds, and a year or more has passed, zakah is obligatory on it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
