The Ruling on the Zakah of Worn Gold
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is there zakah on gold that is worn?
Answer:
This is a matter of scholarly disagreement among the scholars. It is true that the majority hold that there is no zakah on it, especially if the woman is poor and cannot afford to pay zakah on it every year. The religion is easy, and Allah has a reason for this; He has not made anything wrong in the religion for her. However, if she is wealthy and able to pay the zakah, there is no doubt that it is better to avoid the disagreement and exercise caution by paying the zakah, in order to avoid the disagreement and clear her conscience. There is no harm in that for her. Yes.
