Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
With her mother, Honorable Shaykh, there is gold, rings, and a bangle. He says she has not paid its zakah for five years. Is she required to pay zakah on it?
Answer:
If the jewelry is for use and wearing when needed, there is no zakah on it according to the majority of scholars, which is the correct view, if Allah wills. This relieves the hardship on women in this matter. However, if this jewelry is kept for the purpose of selling, buying, and trading, then zakah is obligatory on it every year. Yes.
