The zakah on women's jewelry if it falls below the nisab
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, if we hold that the zakah on women's jewelry is due when it reaches the threshold of extravagance, and we pay the zakah on it and it decreases, is it obligatory in the other case?
Answer:
If you pay the zakah on it, you sell some of it until the amount subject to zakah decreases. As for if you pay the zakah and it remains in its state, it is subject to zakah at the price of three, as long as it reaches the nisab, it is subject to zakah until the nisab decreases. You sell some of it, or something is stolen from it, or you give something to someone, until the nisab decreases. If the nisab decreases, it no longer reaches twenty and a half mithqal, so there is no zakah on it, unless she has dirhams or gold that she adds to it until it reaches the nisab, then we complete the nisab with this. Yes.
