Is the zakah on jewelry obligatory or not?

Question:
I sent a long message, and the only thing in it was a question about the zakah on jewelry: is it obligatory or not? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
There is a mention of jewelry, and there is disagreement among the scholars regarding it. The majority hold that zakah is not obligatory on it, because it is among items used, like clothing, food, drink, dwellings, and vehicles. It is among the assets that are not counted for growth or trade, but rather for use. There is no zakah on it according to the majority of the scholars. Some of them held that it is obligatory on it, taking the general texts into account, and because of hadiths that were reported specifically regarding the payment of zakah from jewelry. The scholars have long discussions and considerations on this matter. In any case, whoever loves to be free of blame and to get out of the disagreement, he pays zakah on the jewelry. Yes.
