The zakah on old gold intended for adornment and its amount
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: My mother has some old gold that is for adornment, and she wears only a small amount of it. The rest remains, and years pass without her wearing it. Is there any zakah on it? And what is the amount of zakah on gold? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
The excess over her needs, which she does not need, is subject to zakah. Anything that reaches the nisab (minimum threshold for zakah) and a lunar year passes over it must be given zakah. However, if she needs it for adornment and wears it on occasions, the stronger position is that there is no zakah on it, because it is among the items worn and used. The zakah is one-quarter of one-tenth. We weigh this one-quarter of one-tenth; we weigh this jewelry. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
