Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This sister, Basimah, says: My sister has had gold for thirty years, and it is kept for use on occasions such as weddings, visiting relatives, and other events. Is there any zakah on it?
Answer:
There is no zakah on it according to the majority of scholars, and this is the view that aligns with people's circumstances, especially for poor women who would otherwise have to borrow money to pay the zakah or be deprived of jewelry. The religion is one of ease, and praise be to Allah. Therefore, the correct view is that there is no zakah on used gold that is kept for use. Yes.
