Zakah on Gold Intended for Adornment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah’s peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you. Is there zakah (obligatory alms) in gold intended for adornment, even if a year or more has passed and it has not been worn?
Answer:
The view held by the majority of scholars, which is the correct one if Allah wills, is that adornment intended for use does not have zakah, because it is not prepared for increase but rather for use and wearing, like clothing, houses, and vehicles. Items prepared for use do not have zakah. Since this is prepared for use and not for increase, it does not have zakah. Yes.
