Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I had some gold, and I wore it, but I did not pay any zakah on it. I never hoarded it. Is zakah due on me?
Answer:
If the jewelry is intended to be worn for adornment, and a woman prepares it to wear on occasions, or to adorn herself for her husband, then there is no zakah on it, according to the correct view and the opinion of the majority of scholars. This is because it has shifted from being growing wealth to being consumed and used wealth, like clothing, vehicles, and dwellings, on which no zakah is due. Is this among the items used? Yes.
