The Ruling on the Zakah of Gold Intended for Use
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, a sister, asks the Shaykh and says: I have gold that I wear from time to time on special occasions. Is zakah obligatory on it? Please note that some of it reaches the lunar year in Jumada al-Akhirah, some in Rajab, and some in Sha'ban. In which month should this gold be paid zakah? Please note that a lunar year has passed and I have not paid its zakah?
Answer:
Gold intended for use on special occasions and for adornment is not subject to zakah according to the majority of scholars; because imposing zakah on it would be a hardship for the woman, and there is no clear evidence obligating zakah on it; because it is among the items used, and is not counted for increase, but rather for use, like clothing, vehicles, and the like. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
