Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is there zakah on the gold a woman uses?
Answer:
There is scholarly disagreement on this. The majority hold that the gold a woman uses is not subject to zakah, because it is in the category of clothing. It was not taken for increase, it was not taken for increase or investment, but rather it was taken for use. This is the position of the majority. Some scholars hold that zakah is obligatory on it. The one who wants to be cautious pays zakah on it as a precaution, out of caution. It is better to do so, yes.
