Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This Abu 'Abdullah says: Shaykh, I have a sister who has gold, and it is for adornment. She wears only a small amount of it, and the rest remains; years pass without her wearing it. Is there zakah on it? And what is the amount of zakah on gold?
Answer:
If the gold is for adornment, to be worn, then there is no zakah on it according to the correct view, even if she is required to wear it constantly, or wears it on occasions at times. The amount of zakah is one-quarter of a tenth. She pays out what corresponds to one-quarter of a tenth, whether in gold or in paper currency. If she converts the gold, she pays out one-quarter of a tenth or what corresponds to one-quarter of a tenth. However, if this gold is not for adornment but is saved for need or for sale, then there is zakah on it. Yes.
