Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you and grant you good. Sister Umm Khalid, please, Sister Umm Khalid. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Please raise your voice a little, if you please. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. I want to ask the Honorable Shaykh, yes. Yes. I have gold that I sold to treat my husband, and he passed away before I spent the amount. A lunar year has passed on it, meaning six thousand, yes, on it, and zakah, and how much, meaning I calculated for him, on it, and zakah? The Honorable Shaykh says she has gold that she sold to treat her husband, and it amounts to six thousand riyals, and a lunar year has passed on it. Does it have zakah?

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
She says she has gold that she sold to treat her husband, and it amounts to six thousand riyals. Does it have zakah?

The Shaykh:
Yes, if something of its value remains with her and a lunar year has passed on it, and it reaches the nisab, then zakah is obligatory on it. As for what was spent from the price of the gold before the completion of the lunar year, there is nothing on it, yes.
