The Report and the Consideration Regarding the Zakah of a Woman's Jewelry
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Who are the ones who say that those who hold the view on the zakah of a woman's jewelry have the report (athar) with them, and who are the ones who do not?
Another questioner:
That is with the consideration, meaning from the perspective of the consideration, is that not the correct direction?
The Shaykh:
Consideration and analogical reasoning (qiyas) have no place when there is an explicit text; they are only relevant in the absence of a text. When a text is present, it overrides consideration and contract. These are the texts regarding the obligation of zakah on gold and silver.
Another questioner:
However, those who hold the view that there is no obligation in this matter do not have [evidence].
The Shaykh:
May he be granted good, if Allah wills. If he is correct, he has two rewards, and if he errs, he has one reward, provided he is a mujtahid whose intention is sincere and he fears Allah; then he is on the right path. If he is correct, he has two rewards, and if he errs, he has one reward. But as for the one who establishes the zakah, two rewards are hoped for him if he is correct. Yes. That is to say. That is all. The nisab in the case of gold. The question mentioned, like the nisab in pounds, twenty mithqals of gold, this is the nisab. The mithqal is the nisab. Yes.
The student:
No, by Allah.
The Shaykh:
Eleven Saudi pounds now, in a country where nine pounds equal the amount of twenty mithqals, yes. Welcome to you all. About eighty-two riyals. Yes, yes.
