Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the stronger position regarding gold intended for personal use in the matter of zakah?
Answer:
The stronger position, and the one upon which the ruling is issued, is that there is no zakah on it as long as it is intended for use and adornment, because it has become an article of clothing and is no longer for increase, but rather prepared for use. So the correct view is that there is no zakah on it. Also, this would put the woman in a difficult position, especially if she is poor: either she is deprived of jewelry, or she bears the burden of zakah every year? It is difficult. Yes.
