Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the sisters asks about jewelry intended for use, saying: Is there zakah on it? And regarding the saying of the noble Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): “There is no one who possesses gold or silver and does not pay its right, except that on the Day of Resurrection plates of fire will be made for him, and then[At-Tawbah 9:35]?” Was this hadith about the zakah of jewelry? If you could clarify that for us, may Allah bless you.
Answer:
Yes, this hadith is authentic, and they cited it as evidence for the obligation of zakah on jewelry. The zakah on jewelry of gold or silver that a woman wears is the opinion of some of the most precise scholars among the people of knowledge, and our Shaykh, Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him), issues fatwas based on the obligation of zakah on the jewelry a woman wears. The majority of the scholars hold that there is no zakah on it because it is among items used, as it is among items used like clothing and the like. Yes.
