Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister asks: I have diamonds and pieces of silver that I inherited from my mother, and they are in my house. Do I have to pay zakah on them? And what is the stronger position on this?
Answer:
Yes, she has to pay zakah if it reaches the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah) and a lunar year has passed over it. In that case, she pays zakah on it by giving out what corresponds to one-quarter of a tenth of it. Yes.
