The Zakah of Jewelry Intended for Use
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the stronger position regarding the zakah on jewelry intended for personal use? Is there zakah on it or not?
Answer:
The stronger position is that there is no zakah on it, because this is a burden on the woman every year to pay its zakah, and she may be poor, and it would forbid her from using the jewelry. I mean, every year she has to pay the zakah on it; this is difficult. Also, this is for personal use; this jewelry was not acquired for trade or for seeking profit, but only for use, like clothing and other possessions on which there is no zakah. Yes. Yes.
