Zakah on Gold and Silver Intended for Adornment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is there zakah on gold and silver that is for adornment?
Answer:
The position held by the majority of scholars is that there is no zakah on gold intended for wearing and adornment, because it is for use. It is prepared for use, not for growth and development. Also, this would put the woman in a difficult position if she were required to pay zakah on her jewelry every year while she is poor in terms of what she produces. Either she would be forbidden from wearing jewelry, or she would be burdened with borrowing and hardship. And Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has not placed any hardship upon us in the religion. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
