How to reconcile the statement that there is no zakah on used gold with the hadith: “Do you want Allah to put a bracelet of fire on you?”

Question:
How to reconcile the statement that there is no zakah on used gold with the hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to the woman: “Do you want Allah to put a bracelet of fire on you?”

Answer:
Yes. This is the evidence of those who hold that zakah is obligatory on used jewelry. The majority hold that there is no zakah on it, because it is no longer kept for growth, but rather for use. Zakah is only obligatory on wealth that is kept for growth and increase. Yes.
