If my daughter has eighty grams of gold, and my wife as well, is zakah due on them?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In a question outside of Hajj, is that possible? Yes, that is possible. May Allah reward you with good. This young girl, the child, yes, meaning we want to prepare eighty grams of gold for her, yes, and her mother, for example, has eighty grams, yes, on the condition that the mother wears the one hundred and sixty grams, on the condition that it will be for her when she grows up, if Allah wills. I mean, is zakah due on them combined? These eighty grams are for the girl and eighty for her mother.
The Shaykh : It is not due on him, because the minimum amount for which zakah becomes obligatory is eighty-five grams.
The questioner : Eighty-five grams.
The Shaykh : Yes, and anything less than that has no zakah.
The questioner : And now he wants one hundred and sixty grams with her, eighty-six for the girl.
The Shaykh : But one hundred and sixty, half of it is for this one and half for that one, so each one does not own the half.
The questioner : He owns the nisab (the minimum threshold for zakah), yes.
The Shaykh : If there is no zakah.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
