The Ruling on the Zakah of Gold Jewelry
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner, who did not mention his name in his message after a long greeting to the Shaykh (may Allah preserve him) and the salam, asks: What are the stronger opinions of the scholars regarding the zakah of gold? Is he required to pay zakah on it?
Answer:
Yes, gold is subject to zakah. However, if it is jewelry that is worn, this is a matter of disagreement. Some scholars hold that zakah is obligatory on it, while others—and they are the majority and the preponderant view—hold that there is no zakah on it, because its use takes it out of the category of wealth subject to zakah and places it in the category of wealth in use, such as clothing, houses, and beds.
