The ruling on the zakah of jewelry worn by a woman

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the sisters sent a question, saying: Shaykh, in the sense that she did not get the hadith right, and she says: The questioner, Umm Abdullah, is the woman who entered upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and had a gold ring on her hand. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: Do you pay the zakah on this gold? She said: No. He said: Do you like that Allah would put a bracelet of fire on you on the Day of Resurrection?

Answer:
Yes, this hadith is authentic, and they cited it as evidence for the obligation of zakah on jewelry. The zakah on jewelry of gold or silver that a woman wears is the opinion of some of the most precise scholars among the people of knowledge, and our Shaykh, Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him), issues fatwas based on the obligation of zakah on the jewelry a woman wears. The majority of the scholars hold that there is no zakah on it because it is among the items of use, like clothing and other things. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
