Is zakah obligatory on gold prepared for wearing and adornment?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on the zakah of gold worn for adornment?

Answer:
The majority hold that there is no zakah on it if it is prepared for adornment. Since it is prepared for adornment, it is in use, they say it is in use, so zakah is not obligatory on it. This is the view of the majority of scholars. However, our Shaykh, Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him), says that zakah is obligatory on jewelry prepared for use, taking the general meaning of the evidence. Yes.
