Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu Hisham says: Shaykh, my mother has gold, and it is for adornment. She wears only a small amount of it on special occasions, and the rest remains; years pass without her wearing it. Is there zakah on it? She says she wants to clear her conscience.
Answer:
The criterion is the woman's intention. If the intention is for saving and need, then there is zakah on it. But if the intention is for wearing and adornment on special occasions, then the correct view is that there is no zakah on it. Yes.
