Zakah on Worn Jewelry
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, is there zakah on jewelry that is worn, even if it is not worn or used except once?
Answer:
It depends on the intention. If a woman acquires it to adorn herself with it on occasions, there is no zakah on it, because it has become an item of personal use; it was not acquired for trade. It falls under the ruling for clothing, on which there is no zakah, even if she wore it only once during the year, or did not wear it at all during the year. However, the matter hinges on the intention. If the acquisition is for adornment and personal use, there is no zakah on it according to the correct opinion.
