The ruling on the zakah of women's jewelry intended for use

Question:
May Allah reward you. The Honorable Shaykh says: Repeatedly, regarding the issue of the zakah of jewelry, I mean women's jewelry.

Answer:
Yes, the stronger position is that it is not obligatory to pay its zakah as long as it is intended for use. In that case, it is not obligatory to pay its zakah. This is the view of the majority of scholars, both the Salaf and the Khalaf. If someone wants to pay its zakah out of caution, that is a good thing. Out of caution, all zakah is good. If he has the ability to pay it, that is the safest course, and there is no doubt that zakah is good. As for the obligation, we do not obligate the owners of jewelry intended for ownership to pay zakah on it, because it is not intended for increase, but rather for use. It is like clothes for wearing, cars for riding, animals for riding and carrying, and houses for living in. Anything intended for use and consumption has no zakah on it.
