Zakah on gold jewelry intended for adornment and use, not for trade

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In his other question, he says: If a woman has half a kilogram of gold that she uses for occasions such as weddings and celebrations, is there zakah on it or not?

Answer:
As mentioned in the previous answer, the majority of scholars hold that there is no zakah on women’s jewelry intended for use or lending, because it is prepared for consumption and use, not for growth or trade. Some scholars, however, hold that zakah is obligatory on it. Even if that were the case, the issue is one of scholarly disagreement, and the disagreement is strong. Therefore, if one pays zakah on it out of caution, to clear one’s conscience, and to avoid the disagreement, there is no doubt that this is better and more complete. Yes.
