Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, my mother has gold, which is jewelry, and she has a lot of it. She does not wear it except for a small amount, and she also gives it to her daughters on special occasions for them to wear at weddings and parties. More than twenty years have passed without her wearing this gold. Is there zakah on it?
Answer:
If it is intended for adornment, to be worn on special occasions, or lent to others to adorn themselves on special occasions, then there is no zakah on it according to the majority of scholars, because it is not kept for increase but rather prepared for use. Yes.
