Who pays the zakah on jewelry: the husband or the wife?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the zakah on jewelry, is it the husband who pays it or the woman who owns the jewelry?

Answer:
The owner pays the zakah. The woman who owns it is the one who pays it. If her husband helps her and pays the zakah on her behalf, that is a good thing; it is permissible for him to pay it for her.
