Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner, Umm Muram, says: My sister has had pieces of silver and diamonds for more than ten years. These minerals and these diamonds, Honorable Shaykh, does she owe zakah on them? And what is the stronger position regarding them?
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. If these possessions are for wearing and adornment, then there is no zakah on them according to the majority of the scholars, because they are among the items used and worn. But if these possessions are for trade, to be sold and bought, then there is zakah on trade goods. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
